Adidas Adimule Slides Dark Brown Gum

adidas has been making slip on footwear since long before anyone called it lifestyle, because athletes needed something to wear between the pitch and the shower. The Adimule takes that logic somewhere odd: a mule, a shoe with a real upper and no heel counter to speak of, aimed at people who want the look of a trainer with the commitment of a slide. Dark Brown Gum is the colourway that makes it make sense. Brown pulls it away from pool sandal territory and towards something you would wear with clothes, and the gum tone underneath gives it the warm, slightly retro base that Originals uses when it wants a shoe to look lived in. It is a strange object worn confidently.
