A pair of Nike on the foot represents what you believe in and how you want to be seen. Not surprisingly, then, the Swoosh brand has a deep commitment to the youth culture symbolized by the Furthering the scene, yankodesign.com/tag/nike has now partnered with Windowsen for a pair of futuristic kicks that seem to have just landed from an extraterrestrial voyage: Not just because of their peculiar color combinations, but also for the approach the designers have taken with the motifs and other nuances.
Designed to foresee what the “future of sport could look like with Nike,” the Windowsen x Nike Air Max Muse was introduced at the Shanghai Fashion Week. It is the brainchild of Sensen Lii, the founder of Windowsen, a Chinese fashion label known for dressing Cardi B for the Met Gala 2024.

The silhouette is obviously based on the familiar Nike Air Max Muse, which has been transformed into a sci-fi artifact for the feet. The cyber-futuristic sneaker has a deep-rooted aesthetic that challenges the conventional by turning a classic into a model that doesn’t really seem from this planet, until, of course, when you wear it and feel the glorious cushioning and comfort of the Air Max tech.
Going by how Lii’s has envisioned the Air Max Muse, you can really see the ‘infusion of ‘90s rave energy and biological structures’ in the silhouette, where its emotive design really makes the shoe feel alive. In this collaboration with Nike, Lii wanted to explore the future of sports, “Not just in how we move, but in how we express who we are,” he explains. For this, the silhouette is packed with concealed design prints that morph or shift with every step.
The Windowsen x Nike Air Max Muse is loaded with extraterrestrial symbols and visual cues, including an alien-head lace charm, and prints placed across the shoe upper. You can find two-toed alien footprints concealed on the insole and also discover them on the sole. If you love the idea of an outworldly sneaker, this is where your search should end. You can pick a pair in contrasting colorway options. The two colors include Metallic Silver/Black-Rage Green-White and Metallic Gold/Chili Red-Arora Green-Racer Blue, both complementing Nike’s youth culture approach.
The sneaker has been released, and it should be available starting November 1 via SNKRS and select Nike retailers. There is no word on the price, but you can guess it to be on the higher side. We do not expect it to be available in limited examples, so you can start saving for the collection right away. Get it late, but don’t miss it!
