Revelling in the success of the Calm Slide released earlier last season, the Nike Calm Mule comes in strong with a never-before-seen Swoosh silhouette. Boasting a smooth, minimalist appearance that you can’t help but love, we predict that this Mule is on track for a sell-out reception, just like its laid-back predecessor.
It comes as no surprise that Nike have decided to adopt their own Mule. Although the fashion industry’s long-standing relationship with the silhouette dates back to the 16th century, its impact in recent years is undeniable. It’s safe to say that we’re seeing the Mule like never before. Just take a look at the Martine Rose x Shox MRF Mule for instance, or the Oakley Factory Team’s Chop Saw Mule. It’s truly the era of the Mule, and we’re not mad about it.
Plush foam material makes up the basis of this lifestyle-coded model, landing in four serene palettes of ‘Black’, ‘Tan’, ‘Olive’ and ‘Grey’. One-piece construction makes for a light, airy and unproblematic feel, equipped with a canvas pull tab for easy slip-on wear. The Nike Calm Mule feels like the kind of shoe you’d wear if you passed on the New Years Eve drinking, and went to a gym class bright and early New Years Day instead. Taking a closer look at the shoe, a textured insole allows increased foot support, whilst a rubber outsole provides effective grip. Furthermore, the lateral sidewall adorns a small Swoosh, completing this unbelievably sleek, poised and polished iteration.
