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 has done it again with the stunning new Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, dropping today to coincide with the heart of baseball season. These limited-edition kicks celebrate Nike's revolutionary City Connect series, which has transformed team identities across Major League Baseball since its 2021 debut.
A Home Run of Cultural Design
Each pair in the collection features the vibrant colorways and unique design elements from specific teams' City Connect uniforms. From the cherry blossom motifs of the Washington Nationals to the neon Miami vibes of the Marlins, these shoes turn heads with the same bold energy as their jersey counterparts.
Technical Specifications

"The MLB City Connect series represents the perfect marriage of baseball tradition and contemporary street culture," said Nike Baseball Global Designer Marcus Andrews. "With these Air Max 270s, we're letting fans rep their teams' bold, reinvented identities from the stadium to the streets."
