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 iconic sportswear brand has teamed up with Major League Baseball to drop an exciting new Air Max 270 City Connect Pack, blending performance footwear with team pride in fresh new ways.
Celebrating MLB's Diverse Identities
The collection takes inspiration from MLB's City Connect series - the bold alternate jerseys that celebrate each team's local culture beyond their traditional team colors. This footwear equivalent delivers the same vibrant energy:
- Chicago White Sox edition featuring South Side-inspired black and white with neon green accents
- Boston Red Sox "Old Spanish Village" design honoring Boston's Hispanic community
- Los Angeles Dodgers recreation of their sunburst-colored jerseys
- Miami Marlins with vibrant Caliente Red and blue gradient
Premium Performance Meets Streetwear
Maintaining the Air Max 270's signature comfort with its large Air unit in the heel, these special editions introduce:
Team-Specific Accents
From custom woven labels to City Connect color-matched air bubbles
Premium Materials
Suede overlays alongside breathable mesh construction
Expression of Fandom
Hidden team logos embedded in the tongue and footbed
"This collection represents our commitment to evolve baseball culture through footwear," said Nike Baseball VP of Design. "Just like City Connect jerseys brought new energy to MLB, these kicks let fans rep their teams in the streets as hard as players do on the field."
