Nike and Veneda Carter are adding dimension to their Air Max Muse collaboration with a striking new colorway that combines a retro running aesthetic with a contemporary application of color and texture.
Veneda designed her second expression of the Air Max Muse as a universal colorway that can be worn with any outfit, reminding of the versatility of classic 1990s Nike footwear.
Glossy, Racer Blue highlights draw out the silhouette’s futuristic shape, calling attention to the iconic Air technology in the heel, while a silver Swoosh sits against a more subdued, dimpled pattern. All the while, a jewel Swoosh pendant adds unexpected flair to the modern yet classic look.
“When I went to Nike’s headquarters to work on my second colorway of the Air Max Muse, all the references I pulled from the Department of Nike Archives were retro running shoes with cool, shiny materials and a mix of brighter colors,” says Veneda. “I wanted to recreate that feeling with this shoe, connecting people to Nike’s running heritage and the kind of sneakers I wore growing up.”
The new Nike x Veneda Carter Air Max Muse will be available exclusively at venedacarter.com on March 6, and globally across SNKRS and select Nike partner retailers on March 13.
