Vans is reinterpreting a pair of iconic silhouettes for its Mule Family Collection. Offering two reconstructed Old Skool and Slip-On models, both designs eliminate the shoe’s heel for easier and more comfortable use, effectively leaving the laces as a purely aesthetic choice.

The Old Skool Mules arrive with a canvas and suede upper, dipped in almost tonal hues of either green or red and contrasted by the white jazz stripe. Meanwhile, the Slip-On Mules follow a traditional checkerboard pattern in either green or orange and white. All offerings feature the red Vans heel plate, and the Slip-On presented with an extra branding tag on the upper.

The Vans Mule Family collection drops May 15 from ₩59,000 KRW (approx. $50 USD) to ₩69,000 KRW (approx. $60 USD).
