Jordan Brand Releases Air Jordan Mule “Dark Team Red”

The Air Jordan Mule quietly became one of Jordan Brand’s most unexpected hits over the past year, and 2026 looks set to continue that momentum. After surfacing in several materials and prints — including the talked-about Cow Print edition — the model returns in its most refined option yet: the Air Jordan Mule “Dark Team Red.”

Rooted in the brand’s lineage of off-court lifestyle design, the Mule taps the DNA of classic Jordan loafers and modern slip-on silhouettes. This new “Dark Team Red” colorway leans heavily into that dress-shoe crossover aesthetic, coating the upper in a deep burgundy patent finish that elevates the model beyond casual wear. The glossy synthetic shell is paired with moc-style stitching and a raised vamp design, delivering a polished profile without sacrificing comfort.

Underfoot, the exaggerated platform midsole remains a defining feature. Sculpted lines and a rugged tread pattern support the mule’s hybrid identity — clean enough for elevated fits, functional enough for daily use. The color palette stays consistent throughout, with a smooth tonal transition from upper to sole that keeps the silhouette cohesive and premium.

Pairs are available now via Nike.com for $145.
