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.
Building on that momentum, Nike has just launched the highly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, merging baseball culture with iconic sneaker design. This collection celebrates Nike's ongoing partnership with Major League Baseball through the innovative City Connect program that's transformed baseball uniform aesthetics since its debut.
Celebrating Regional Baseball Culture
Each edition in the collection pays homage to MLB teams from Boston to San Diego, incorporating the bold color stories and local elements from all 30 clubs' City Connect jerseys. The upper showcases textiles and logos pulled directly from the alternate uniforms, while visible Air cushioning maintains comfort activated for game days and beyond.
- 30 styles available

- 277° of visible Air

Availability
After early exclusive access for Nike Members last weekend, the entire Air Max 270 MLB City Connect collection is now available through Nike.com and select retailers at the retail price of $160 USD.
The standout colorways perfectly complement the current sports fashion direction, proven by their sold-out status for certain teams like the retro Chicago White Sox design and funky Miami Marlins option.
"These cleats bring innovative comfort pro athletes would love with enough stylish creativity for streetwear adoption."
As the MLB season continues to develop unexpectedly (who predicted the Royals would lead the AL Central in May?), fans can now flex their club pride with comfortable technology aesthetic aligned with Team USA vibes (with player paths to the 2026 World Baseball Classic already beginning to take shape).
Sneakerheads should act fast — if last year's NFL x Nike colletion was any indication, sizes will vanish quickly despite the full team assortment. The MLB x Air Max runway successfully blends competitive and lifestyle fashion decisions better than delicate slider bun weather calls.
