Mules are taking over. Following the initial revelation of Nike’s brand new silhouette, the Nike Calm Mule, new reports have suggested that the “Black” colorway is slated for a release at the end of this year.

For those unaware, the Nike Calm Mule is actually a variant of also-recently announced Nike Calm Slide. Created to match in-vogue trends of simplicity and minimalism, the Nike Calm series takes on a rather smooth and detail-less structure, save for the unmistakable Swoosh logo.

The Nike Calm Mule, which many have pointed out the Birkenstock Boston as its inspiration, modifies the Calm Slide with a fully covered top and an adjustable side strap. The Calm Mule also promises to be a comfortable fit for any, with supportive foam patches on the heel as well as a large ventilation opening on the medial side. In an all-black outfit, the Calm Mule could be a versatile, casual option in any sneakerhead’s rotation.
