WMNS KNWLS x Nike Air Max Muse "Black" II3670-001

The KNWLS x Nike Air Max Muse “Black” steps far beyond a standard collab — it feels like something stolen from backstage and dropped straight into streetwear. Dark, sleek, and full of attitude, this pair reimagines the Air Max line with a sculpted, femme-focused edge.

The upper arrives in rich black leather, stitched with quilted lines that break up the silhouette without softening its bite. Unlike traditional Air Max builds, KNWLS cuts the tongue low and tightens the shape, then wraps the foot in looping laces that echo ballet corsets. It’s delicate in theory, but the delivery is fierce.

A sharply pointed toe, reinforced with a stealthy TPU cap, changes the stance entirely. It narrows the front profile, giving the shoe a runway-meets-underground feel — more like footwear you’d see under spotlights than gym lights. A glass-bead Swoosh glimmers across the lateral side, refusing to blend in. KNWLS branding hides on the heel and insole, subtle yet unmistakable for anyone paying attention.

Underneath, Nike keeps performance intact. The exposed Max Air unit in the heel cushions each step, supported by a midfoot shank that locks in stability. A segmented rubber outsole sits ready for day-to-night wear, whether paired with wide-leg trousers, mesh tights, or a shredded skirt.

This is a shoe for those who don’t just wear black — they live in it. A statement in movement. A ballet flat with bite. A collab that doesn’t beg for attention, but owns the room once seen.
