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.
