NN.07 steps into footwear with real intent this season partnering with British shoemaker Grenson on a mule.
This shoe blends 160 years of heritage with clean Copenhagen style. Under the “Tradition Reimagined” banner, the collaboration anchors a full styling story. It shows how to wear this loafer-style mule from office hours to off duty.
Design and color/details
The centerpiece is the NN.07 + Grenson mule, a lightweight gathered-apron moc inspired by a classic 1960s Grenson silhouette. It is crafted in soft nappa leather. So it reads like a modern slip-on loafer from the front but brings the easy, open-back attitude of a mule.
The shape is relaxed yet precise. It is low, streamlined, and sharp enough for tailoring while still casual enough for denim or shorts.
NN.07 builds a full wardrobe around the shoe to match its refined, understated feel. The edit includes the Jordin double-breasted blazer in a wool-linen blend and pleated relaxed-fit trousers in summer tweed. It also features open-collar linen shirts, heavyweight logo tees, relaxed linen shorts, and brushed Oxford shirts in organic cotton.
Accessories such as a smooth leather belt, suede tote, canvas cap, and textured cotton socks keep everything in the same quietly premium mood.
Performance, tech and on-foot focus
On foot, the mule is designed as an everyday choice that looks elevated but wears like a favorite slip-on. The nappa leather upper gives a soft, glove-like feel early on.
Meanwhile, the gathered apron adds structure across the toe without making the shoe stiff. Because the profile is closer to a loafer than a chunky clog, it sits cleanly under a tailored hem or a straight-leg jean.
Grenson’s craft keeps the build feeling solid and durable, so this is not a flimsy fashion mule but something that can handle real city mileage. Paired with NN.07’s relaxed tailoring and elevated basics, the shoe becomes the quiet focal point of each look. It shifts outfits from standard to considered with a single piece.
Release date, price, access
The “Tradition Reimagined” selection, including the NN.07 + Grenson mule, is available now on NN.07’s online store. It is offered alongside the full styling edit built around it.
The mule sits in a premium tier that reflects Grenson’s heritage craftsmanship and NN.07’s contemporary menswear positioning. It effectively acts as a leather loafer alternative for modern wardrobes.
For city dressers, office creatives, and footwear collectors who appreciate subtle twists on classic shapes, this collaboration offers a complete formula.
It delivers Copenhagen ease, London heritage, and a mule that feels as natural with linen tailoring as it does with broken-in jeans.
