Fashion and sports are like oil and water. They don’t mix. You wouldn’t wear Gucci sneakers to a pickup game or take Air Jordans down a runway in Paris—unless, of course, you’re Nike and Windowsen. The two have teamed up to prove that athletic performance and avant-garde weirdness can coexist, birthing the surreal Nike x Windowsen Air Max Muse.
This isn’t your regular Air Max reissue with a funky colorway. No, this one looks like it crash-landed from another galaxy and decided to rave on Earth. Inspired by 1990s club culture and Windowsen’s cyber-futuristic fashion lens, the Air Max Muse is part sneaker, part statement, and possibly part organism. The upper features vivid contrasts, alien iconography, and morphing prints that shift as you walk—meaning your shoes will always look like they’re alive (and maybe judging your outfit).
Windowsen’s founder, Sensen Lii, calls the design “a portal to the unknown,” which sounds about right. Hidden across the shoe are extraterrestrial symbols, a detachable alien-head lace charm, and even two-toed alien footprints on the outsole and insole. Every detail screams Windowsen’s brand of couture-meets-cosmic chaos. The Air Max unit, meanwhile, has been elevated—literally and metaphorically—to fuse Nike’s sneaker tech with what looks like wearable art.
The Nike x Windowsen Air Max Muse will drop in two colorways, each capturing that high-voltage clash between futuristic rave energy and alien couture. It’s not just a sneaker; it’s an interdimensional travel pass for your feet.
The Nike x Windowsen Air Max Muse lands November 1 on SNKRS and select Nike stores, with the price to be announced. Bring your imagination—and maybe your glow sticks.
