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. Proving that influence extends far beyond the diamond, Nike has just dropped the highly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, available now.

Where Diamond Meets Pavement

This collection directly translates the bold aesthetics and local storytelling of Nike's revolutionary City Connect jerseys into footwear form. Each Air Max 270 in the pack pulls colors, patterns, and spirit from a selected MLB team's alternate identity, designed to represent the soul of their city rather than traditional team colors.

"The City Connect series changed how fans engage with team identity," said a Nike spokesperson. "With this pack, we're taking that cultural moment off the field and into daily life. The Air Max 270, with its iconic visible Air unit and modern silhouette, is the perfect canvas to celebrate this fusion of sports and street culture."

Design Highlights & Available Teams

The shoes feature team-specific details like unique heel graphics, custom woven tongue labels, and color-blocking that mirrors the corresponding jersey sets. Premium materials and subtle nods—from gradient fades to localized motifs—make each pair a collector's item for fans and sneakerheads alike.

• Boston Red Sox ("City Series"): Yellow and "Amarillo" blue accents inspired by the Boston marathon.
