It’s hard work being in the same division as Shohei Ohtani and the dynasty-seeking Dodgers, but if you’re going to go up against the champ - or start the season with a wild card hunt - you may as well do it in style. Nike is rolling out a pack of alternate jersey-inspired Air Maxes to kick off the MLB season, and this Padres Air Max 1 is the first preview up to bat.
The Nike Air Max 1 Padres City Connect matches the team’s latest Nike City Connect jerseys, marking a welcome transition away from the team’s yellow, green, and pink alternates from years past. For the ‘26 season, the Padres are laced in a tribute to the days of Tony Gwynn and Dia de los Muertos with a mix of blue, orange, and white, with light hits of pink to keep the neon theme intact.
