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 newly released Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack
For 2025, Nike continues its dominance in baseball footwear innovation with colorways that mirror seven of the most popular City Connect uniform programs: Each pair features the team logo on the tongue and City Connect branding on the heel tab. The 270's signature air unit provides the comfort needed for ballpark excursions, while premium materials nod to baseball's heritage fabrics. The Air Max 270 MLB PackNike.com
While players might not be taking the field in these kicks (MLB still requires molded cleats for gameplay), expect to see them everywhere from the concourse to post-game press conferences as the 2025 season develops.
"This is about honoring how MLB clubs embrace their local identities," said Nike Baseball Creative Director Javier Gonzales. "The Air Max 270 gives us the perfect canvas to scale up those community-inspired designs for footwear fanatics and baseball traditionalists alike."
