Last night marked a monumental moment for KNWLS. The London-based brand made its Milan Fashion Week debut, unveiling its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Synergy, at the Camera della Moda.The collection also introduced an exclusive collaboration with Nike – a capsule of technical apparel and footwear that merges Nike’s technology with KNWLS’ signature design codes.KNWLS’ signature aesthetic is elevated through Nike’s advanced fabrics, while heritage Nike silhouettes are reimagined through a KNWLS lens. The result is a capsule that almost feels pulled from a warped intersection of both brands – in the best way possible – creating a bold new design language fit for the gym, a club, or anywhere in between.Corsetry remains key to KNWLS, and in this collaboration, a corseted jacket appears in a weatherproof, lightweight fabric woven with reflective threading. The brand’s Razr bag is also reimagined in rugged nylon and leather, finished with a rubber base inspired by Nike’s waffle outsole.But the standout of the collection is the footwear. Nike’s classic Air Max Muse has been “KNWLS-ified” with twisted, corset-like laces and a sharper, more angular silhouette. Drawing inspiration from both ballet pointe shoes and vintage football trainers, it introduces a completely new aesthetic. The shoe debuts in an iridescent green colorway, as well as full black and a pink with red and white accents option — a breath of fresh air for both brands.The collection also marks KNWLS’ third collaboration with TENCEL™ as a materials partner. The cellulose fiber is used for jersey button-down dresses and leggings, each elevated through KNWLS’ signature ruched draping.Scroll up to see exclusive runway detail shots of the KNWLS x Nike collection.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
