Another week, another new sneaker loafer as Nike Inc.’s Jordan Brand is adding a new Air Jordan Loafer Mule to its lineup, this time in its boldest look yet.
After appearing in a shiny black leather earlier this month, the Air Jordan Loafer Mule has now been draped in a hairy cow print. Fusing two trends into one, the sneaker loafer hybrid also ticks off the animal print box that’s been popular on athletic footwear, namely Adidas’ various low-profile models.
On the Air Jordan Loafer Mule, the brown-and-white faux fur pattern covers the entirety of the slip-on upper, while the metallic silver Air Jordan-branded forefoot badge and thick, stacked sole retain the same look seen on the black colorway. The backless upper sits atop a tall multilayered sole, although Nike’s official product specs have yet to surface so it’s difficult to determine which, if any, cushioning is embedded underfoot.

Along with Jordan Brand, Nike’s own Nike Sportswear division also recently got involved with the “snoafer” trend. The brand tapped the Serena Williams Design Crew for a new Air Max Phenomena sneaker loafer based on the retro Air Max SNDR model. A release date for the Nike Air Max Phenomena has not been confirmed, but two styles have already surfaced.
While the sneaker loafer trend has displayed considerable staying power, there has been debate over how long the momentum will last. The movement has been largely credited to New Balance, which introduced its 1906L loafer to retail in January 2024.
With the arrival of this new cow print style, it looks as though Jordan Brand has plans for a Loafer Mule push as we approach the second half of 2025. What isn’t clear yet is an exact release date; however, the model is expected to launch later this summer exclusively in women’s sizing at a retail price of $145. The style code for this cow print pair is IB1497-001. A detailed look at the upcoming pair is pictured below.
