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 sportswear giant has once again blurred the lines between performance and streetwear with the launch of their highly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, bringing team pride to sidewalks and subway platforms as much as to bleachers. This collection drops as the City Connect jersey program continues to revolutionize how fans represent their teams in urban environments.
Bridging Diamond and Pavement
Building on the success of previous collaborations, this year's edition reinterprets each MLB team's City Connect color schemes for maximum comfort and visibility in casual settings. The 270's oversized Air unit provides all-day comfort whether you're cheering from the stands or crossing downtown after work.
Notable designs include:
- The Boston Red Sox
- Miami's version features gradient blues mimicking Biscayne Bay sunsets
- Chicago White Sox designs perfectly match their controversial "cement sprint" jerseys
