Nike introduces a look at another tonal update of the iconic Air Max Muse sneaker model with the launch of the Glacier Blue colorway palette. Joining the roster for the Summer 2025 season, the model is doused with hues of Glacier Blue, Pale Ivory, and Metallic Silver to really add a bold contrast.
The silhouette is inspired by elements of retro-futurism along with running designs from the early 2000s. The Muse is a perfect integration of street design with a sleek everyday build. With Glacier Blue across the upper made from suede and mesh, it boasts an elevated look and feel. The metallic detail joins with the mini Swoosh branding emblem, adding a slight shine.
