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 270 MLB City Connect Edition
Nike's latest footwear release celebrates baseball's cultural connection to America's cities through the innovative Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. The collection features team-inspired colorways pulling from MLB's popular City Connect jerseys that reimagine franchise identities through local cultural lenses.
Key Features:
- 270-degree air unit for maximal cushioning
- Team-specific gradients reflecting City Connect palettes
- Statement Swoosh in contrasting colors
- Micro-textured mesh upper with breathable PK areas
- Co-branded NBA team logos on tongue and insole
"This collection represents where sport culture meets street culture," said Nike Baseball Creative Director Devon McKenzie. "Just like the City Connect program redefines team identities through local pride, we're taking that energy from the diamond to the pavement."
