Embroidery — it's not just for your grandma. It's also for Nike's elegant outdoor mule. Nike ACG’s Rufus clog takes the muted simplicity of its signature mule and elevates it with crest-style embroidery on the upper.

The grip-happy outsole and cushioned midsole make this slip-on perfect for leisurely strolls, while the embroidered detailing gives the ACG Rufus a regal disposition.

Nike ACG’s Rufus is unsurprisingly part of Nike's All Conditions Gear universe, designed for all matters of the outdoors. Interestingly enough, though, Nike's ACG Rufus slip-on exists more as a lifestyle shoe than anything else.

Sure, the thick foam sole offers some real deal functionality, but as of late, all of Nike's ACG Rufus revisions have been quite fashion-forward.

There's the gorgeous case of the delicate Japanese-style floral ACG and the acid-wash denim take on the crazy, stylish clog.

That's not to speak of the majestic purple ACG Rufus that wears the same Swoosh crest, which adds to the whole royal charm vibe Nike seems to be going for with this shoe. 

First released in 2001, the ACG Rufus was a bit ahead of its time in terms of the freaky footwear boom. Now, in an era where footwear brands have to dabble in a bit of everything to keep up with the times, the ACG Rufus' revival feels more aligned than ever.

Available on the Nike website for $110, the ACG Rufus is just another notch under Nike's ever-expanding belt of delectable, kooky, non-sneaker offerings.
