With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. It's too early to see who the true contenders for the World Series as well as end-of-season awards are, but at this juncture we can crown Nike as true innovators of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.
The latest collaboration between Nike and Major League Baseball merges footwear with team pride in unprecedented ways. The new Air Max 270 City Connect Pack translates the bold colors and designs featured on MLB City Connect jerseys into sneaker form.
Diamond-Inspired Design Details
Each pair in the collection showcases:
- Team-specific CityConnect palette
- Laser-engraved basepaths on the midsole
- 3D-printed embroidery mimicking stitching patterns
- Glow-in-the-dark outsole stars representing night games
"This collection isn't just about team pride - it's about urban identity," says Nike Creative Director Marcus Taylor. "Just as City Connect jerseys reimagined what baseball uniforms could be, we're pushing basketball-inspired comfort into new aesthetic territory."
