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 Swoosh continues its dominance in sports fashion with the release of the hotly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, dropping just as summer baseball heats up across the country.

Celebrating MLB's Most Vibrant Uniforms

This special collection ties directly into MLB's City Connect program, translating the bold color schemes and local vibes from eight participating teams' jerseys into lifestyle sneakers. The pack includes designs inspired by:

• Chicago White Sox (Southside edition)
• Boston Red Sox (Yellow June)
• Los Angeles Dodgers (LaHolA design)
• Miami Marlins (Vice Neon)
• San Francisco Giants (Bay City Kiss)
• Arizona Diamondbacks (Sedona Sunrise)
• Washington Nationals (District Red)
• Houston Astros (Space City blue)

The Technology Behind the Design

Each pair features the Air Max 270's signature visible Air unit in the heel (matching the team's primary color) with uppers that replicate the jersey fabrics and sleeve piping patterns. Special details include:

• 3D-printed team logos on the tongue
• Dynamic Flyknit construction matching jersey materials
• Glow-in-the-dark outsoles for select colorways
• Interior sockliner with team slogan prints
