Another release from Nike aren't a pair of sneakers, but rather, the Nike Air Rejuven8 Mule slippers.
Nike is no stranger to slippers having produced a number over the past years. The Nike Air Rejuven8 Mule is probably one of the first that I've seen of its kind. These are decked out in a camo-theme with a textured insole and Torch mesh to bring comfort to the wearer. Design-wise, these don't look like your average slippers. There's more of a flowing aesthetic that's a nice change from the conventional looks most are use to.
It's good to see Nike change up their game a little bit with a different type of footwear. This will bring something new and fresh to consumers who are looking for styles outside of sneakers.
