New Balance's 9060 Summer is even better in all-black.

Its entire design goes dark, from the breezy mesh and leather uppers to the extra-beefy soles. However, even in stealth mode, there's no hiding the fact that this isn't your everyday 9060 sneaker.

Revealed earlier this season, the New Balance 9060 Summer arrives as this mule-style take on the 9060 sneaker, a mega-chunky dad shoe that borrows steez from the 990 models that came before it.

The New Balance 9060 Summer isn't just a mule, though. It's also a sandal, thanks to its supportive heel strap. But remove it altogether, and it becomes a slip-on sneaker. It all just depends on the mood and day.

Even better, New Balance has sprinkled some extra trail flavor onto the 9060 Summer, giving it adjustable toggle laces like those seen on classic hiking shoes.

The 9060 Summer (all flavors included) is exclusively available overseas (sigh). But that's honestly good news for the mule hybrid lovers who live across the water.

They typically get the better hybrid sneaker-sandals, anyways. First, it was the New Balance Breeze Mary Janes. Then, it was the 9060 Summer mules.

What's next? Fresh Foam sandals? Actually, yes.
