Slip-on silhouettes continue carving out space in performance-lifestyle rotations, especially as outdoor design pushes further into everyday wear. That shift sets the stage for the Nike ACG Rufus “Desert Khaki,” arriving April 1, 2026.

This ACG mule leans into understated earth tones. Desert Khaki covers the upper in a smooth textile that carries a soft, brushed appearance. Across the vamp, Soft Yellow embroidery frames a tonal Swoosh, giving the trail-inspired slip-on a subtle decorative edge without overpowering its neutral base.

The interior is lined with Light British Tan material for some warmth and tone-on-tone depth. Further driving the model’s comfort-oriented identity are its padded collar and slip-on silhouette, though ACG’s outdoor heritage is still represented. It’s smart direction that suits Nike continuing to fine-tune its lineup of hybrid off-trail footwear.

Down below, Cream II midsole gives way to a dotted rubber outsole with hearty lug depths. Brown rubber pods and a petite red forefoot Swoosh help tie things together with contrasting classic ACG flavor.

The Nike ACG Rufus “Desert Khaki” releases April 1, 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $115.
