With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. While it's too early to predict World Series contenders or end-of-season award winners, one thing is already clear: Nike continues to redefine baseball fashion with their latest release.
The new Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack featuring six team colorways
A Fusion of Sport Culture
This week marked the official release of the much-anticipated Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, celebrating the unique colors and identities of six MLB franchises through their acclaimed City Connect uniforms.
"The Air Max 270 continues to be one of our most versatile lifestyle silhouettes," said Nike's Baseball Product Director. "By incorporating the bold aesthetic of the City Connect program, we've created something that appeals to both sneakerheads and baseball fans alike."
Featured Teams
- Chicago White Sox - Southside Edition
- Boston Red Sox - City Edition
- Los Angeles Dodgers - LA Stories
- Houston Astros - Space City
- Miami Marlins - Sugar Kings
- San Diego Padres - South Bay
Design Details
Each pair in the collection features team-specific color blocking matching their City Connect uniforms, with premium mesh and synthetic leather uppers. The translucent Air Max bubble in the heel displays the team logo when viewed from certain angles - a subtle but impactful detail for true fans.
The insoles feature the City Connect theming for each club, while the pull tabs display coordinates for each team's home stadium.
Availability
The limited-edition collection officially launched May 15 via the SNKRS app and at select Nike retailers, priced at $180 per pair. Early reports suggest the Red Sox and White Sox editions are selling particularly fast, mirroring social media buzz around these teams' City Connect uniforms.
With momentum building around MLB's City Connect program now in its fifth season, Nike's latest move to extend the aesthetic to footwear shows baseball's growing influence in streetwear culture. While we can't crown this season's baseball champions just yet, fans can at least rock some championship-worthy style.
