Nike introduces the world to multiple new Air Max models every year, with 2024 seeing the latest innovation in the Air Max DN. Alongside this, the Y2K-focused Air Max Portal also debuted, but Nike has even more retro-inspired Air Max models on the horizon. On Friday, September 6, the world was given a first look at the new Air Max Muse thanks to Olympic gymnast and Nike athlete Jordan Chiles throwing out the first pitch at the New York Mets game.
Strikingly similar to the recent Reebok Engine A, this new Air Max model features a mesh base with leather overlays that create panels along the toe, midfoot, and circular portions on the sole unit. Mesh pops in black while the metallic silver overlays shine around the mudguard, toe, eyestays, and heel. More metallic silver is used on the mini Swoosh on the midfoot, with Air Max branding on the tongue, taking on a new retro-futuristic typeface. Underfoot, the midsole borrows tooling from the aforementioned Air Max Portal and comes with a black rubber outsole.
