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 evidence of Nike's sport-fashion dominance comes in the form of their new Air Max 270 City Connect Pack, celebrating their 10th anniversary of reshaping MLB aesthetics. These sneaker-team combos follow the viral success of 2023's Nike Air Force 1 collaboration.
Limited edition models for Boston, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles teams showcase exclusive team graphics matching this season's most daring uniforms.
Each $160 pair transforms team-specific palette choices from the diamond to the streets - Boston's "B Strong" navy/yellow artistry wraps around the heel, while the Houston Astros edition repurposes their space-race teal gradients on the sneaker's signature air bubble.
The back tab doubles as a custom baseball stitch pattern on all models, matching MLB scheduler's special grosgrain ribbon tribute to the tour's stylistic impact. Early wear-test reviews praise the transitional Air unit as perfect for mid-game warmup laps.
