Nike turned its thickest Air Max model into the ultimate fall sweet treat.

The latest Air Max Muse sneaker lands with suede overlays, ribbed knit underlays, and sleek touches elsewhere. Nike washed these cozy details with a rich burgundy color scheme known as "Mystic Dates."

It literally looks like a red velvet cake you can wear on your feet.

And it's a triple-layered stepper, of course. The Muse keeps its signature ultra-chunky Air-cushioned heels. As if they weren't already bold, Nike splashes them with this bright red, making them stand out even more against the mostly burgundy design.

Nike launched the Air Max Muse in late 2024 and keeps the thick-soled model fresh even today, whether making mesh versions for summer or dropping new sleek colorways. "Mystic Dates" is one of the more tasteful releases, thanks to its velvety textures and delicious color scheme.

A Nike Air Max this yummy isn't widely available (yet). But it is up for grabs at some select stores. For instance, Footshop has them for €159.99, or around $180.
