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. That innovation now leaps from the diamond to the pavement with the immediate release of the Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack.
The new Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack draws inspiration from the bold, localized designs of MLB's popular jersey series.
Where Performance Heritage Meets City Pride
This exclusive pack translates the narrative-driven aesthetics of Nike's MLB City Connect jerseys—which redefined team identity and fan culture—into a footwear silhouette built for all-day comfort. The Air Max 270, renowned for its massive heel Air unit and casual profile, serves as the perfect canvas.
Design & Colorway Highlights
Each shoe in the collection captures the unique spirit of participating franchises through team-specific color blocking, material textures, and subtle detailing:
Boston Red Sox ("Late Night"):
Chicago White Sox ("Southside"):
Los Angeles Dodgers ("LA Sunshine"):
Miami Marlins ("Vice"):
Technology & Wearability
Beyond the aesthetics, the shoes offer the signature Air Max 270 cushioning, featuring the tallest heel Air bag in the Air Max lineage for unmatched comfort. The breathable mesh upper and lightweight construction ensure these are built for lifestyle, from the ballpark gates to city streets.
"The City Connect series was about more than uniforms; it was about telling local stories. With this pack, we're giving fans a way to walk in that story every day."
