With a quarter of the 2025 MLB season now in the books, the campaign is unmistakably in full swing. While it remains too early to definitively crown the true contenders for the World Series or predict the winners of end-of-season awards, the diamond's narrative is already rich with storylines. At this early juncture, however, one crown can be confidently bestowed: Nike has firmly established itself as the true innovator of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.

This innovation leaps from the fabric of the game onto the streets with the immediate release of the Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. This highly anticipated collection masterfully translates the bold aesthetics and local pride of MLB's celebrated City Connect jerseys into definitive streetwear silhouette.

From the Diamond to the Streets

Each sneaker in the pack is a wearable tribute to a specific team's City Connect identity. The design process goes beyond simple color matching, delving into the unique cultural motifs and narratives that define each city.

  • Chicago White Sox ("South Side"):
  • San Diego Padres ("Serie de Los Sun"):
  • Arizona Diamondbacks ("Serpientes"):

Signature Comfort, Themed Design

True to the Air Max 270 legacy, the pack doesn't compromise on comfort. Each pair boasts the iconic, large window Air Max unit in the heel—the brand's tallest at the time of its launch—providing all-day cushioning perfect for city exploration. The thematic elements are integrated into the fabric, overlays, and even the sock liners, which often feature team-specific patterns or coordinates of the home ballpark.
