The Veneda Carter x Nike Air Max Muse “Racer Blue” continues the stylist’s burgeoning impact on Nike’s lifestyle roster. Carter’s previous drop blurred the lines between streetwear and sneakers by finding a unique way to connect archival silhouettes to the modern moment. The latest effort remains similarly unpredictable.

Presented in a fashion editorial from Vogue Scandinavia, the new Air Max Muse features a high-contrast composition of pristine white leather and breathable Racer Blue mesh. Flowing with a watery fade down the mudguard, the pairing nearly takes on a ripple effect. Metallic Silver Swooshes play up the clean silhouette, while a yellow heel Air unit provides the pop of color that elevates Carter’s collabs beyond typical inline pairs. It’s that subtle differentiation that sneakerheads will find when sizing the release up against her previous Muse.

Previous sneaker selections from Carter have alluded to an archive-knowing DNA. Sneaker enthusiasts will recall how the stylist shined a spotlight on the Air Force 1 “Invisible Woman 2.0” and unearthed a set of retro Deion Sanders trainers. The “Racer Blue” release continues that trend, suggesting Carter is more than just a co-sign, but a recontextualization of Nike models with a particular point of view.

The Veneda Carter x Nike Air Max Muse “Racer Blue” will release on September 2025, retailing for $170 USD. It will launch in women’s sizing through Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
