The Nike Air Max Muse "Desert Sand" Shimmers for Summer

Nike continues expanding its newest lifestyle silhouette, the Air Max Muse, with yet another tonal installment for Fall 2025. This time, the aggressively shaped model surfaces in a clean “Desert Sand” colorway.

The Air Max Muse offers a bold and unconventional look, designed as a counterpoint to the terrace sneaker aesthetic dominating streetwear. Its sculpted tooling, oval Air unit, and layered overlays set the tone for a futuristic and performance-forward visual. The shoe features mesh underlays in a neutral Sanddrift tone, overlaid with glossy Desert Sand skins that contour the foot. The bulbous midsole is finished in matching off-white hues, complementing the upper's layered neutrals.

Metallic Silver mini Swooshes are added at the forefoot, and the heel branding continues the mirrored theme in Metallic Pewter, bringing some flash to the otherwise understated palette. Finishing details include rope laces, reflective elements, and the distinctive AM° tongue logo that nods to the line's Air Max heritage.

The Nike Air Max Muse “Desert Sand” is the latest in a growing lineup of colorways following “Anthracite” and “Light British Tan,” and continues to push Nike’s anti-terrace ethos with unapologetically progressive design.

Expect Nike Air Max Muse "Desert Sand" pairs to be released in women’s sizing during the Summer/Fall 2025 season via Nike.com and select retailers.

A firm release date has yet to be confirmed, but information will be reflected on our Nike Release Dates Page when details become available.
