TLDR: The KNWLS x Nike Air Max Muse ‘Ballet’ combines high fashion and sportswear in a design inspired by ballet.

It is the result of a collaboration between Nike and London-based label KNWLS and was first shown at Milan Fashion Week. The design is inspired by classic pointe shoes and translates the graceful aesthetics of ballet into a modern silhouette. Characteristic features include the tapered toe box, the low-cut midfoot area and the shortened tongue, which give the sneaker an elegant silhouette.

Glossy TPU elements on the toe cap and side panels provide a striking contrast to the soft leather upper, while the familiar Air Max sole with its chunky heel remains unchanged. The interplay of the chunky sole and graceful upper creates an exciting balance between sportiness and couture.

The sneaker is available in three colourways: black, beige and pink, all with glossy finishes that underline the sophisticated character of the collaboration. The release is accompanied by a small KNWLS x Nike apparel collection with matching garments and accessories that continue the balletcore trend.

The sneaker will be released on 15 October 2025 for €200 in women's sizes.

It will be available via Nike.com, KNWLS and selected high-fashion and sneaker retailers.
