Leaked images show a navy base with orange trim and what looks like a skeleton patch on the sleeve. The team retired those old Mint and Pink ones after the 2025 season and these fresh ones will hit the field for every Friday home game.

No official word if the leaks are spot on, but they line up perfectly with that upcoming MLB Nike Air Max 1-Shoe Dropping. Scheme. Fans are buzzing online about the shift from the polarizing past threads to this bolder look. The Padres launched the original City Connects back in 2022, worn steadily on Fridays and now they're aiming to make even more noise, with the update.
