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 new Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack celebrates this heritage while giving fans radical new ways to show team pride. Designed specifically for each team's existing City Connect uniform lineup, these sneakers blend professional colorways with Air Max comfort technology.
"What we've created here bridges the gap between jersey technology and streetwear," explained Nike lead designer Marcus Thompson. "Fans want that pro-level identification but need footwear that works off the diamond too."
Key Features:
- Team-specific City Connect color blocking
- 270-degree visible Air unit for cushioning
- Sock liner with MLB Authentic Collection authentication
- Breathable mesh and synthetic upper
- Rubber outsole with team logo pattern
Several clubs already reported strong pre-order numbers for their respective colorways, particularly the Boston Red Sox "October"(Boston Red Sox rebrand alternates coming in navy/red) and San Diego Padres "Sunshine"(Padres hit another home run with their multicolor gradient version blending sky blues, pinks and yellows) editions.
The complete collection drops today through Nike SNKRS app and select MLB shop locations, retailing at $160 USD with team socks bundles available for $190.
