With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. The crack of the bat and the roar of the crowds have become weekly staples as teams battle for divisional supremacy. While it's too early to see who the true contenders for the World Series as well as end-of-season awards are, one thing has become abundantly clear at this juncture: we can crown Nike as true innovators of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.
The City Connect Legacy Meets Performance Footwear
Building on the overwhelming success of their City Connect jersey program, Nike has now translated that same local pride and distinctive design philosophy into footwear with the Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. This collection represents a perfect marriage between streetwear aesthetics and baseball heritage, allowing fans to represent their team with off-field style that matches their on-field passion.

The initial drop features the Boston Red Sox "Yellow Series," Chicago White Sox "Southside," Miami Marlins "Caliente," and Los Angeles Dodgers "Skyline" editions, with more team variants scheduled to release throughout the season.
Availability
The Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack is available now through Nike's official website, selected retailers, and MLB team stores. Priced at $160, these sneakers offer fans a new way to connect with their team's identity while enjoying the comfort and style that has made the Air Max 270 a modern classic.
"This collection bridges the gap between the ballpark and the streets," said Nike's Baseball Creative Director. "We're giving fans footwear that celebrates what makes each MLB city unique while providing the comfort and style they expect from the Air Max line."
As the 2025 season continues to unfold with unexpected rivalries and breakout performances, one thing remains certain: Nike continues to push the boundaries of how fans experience and express their baseball fandom, proving that innovation off the field can be just as exciting as the action on it.
