What happens when a New Balance dad shoe goes on summer break? It turns into a sandal hybrid known as the New Balance 9060 Summer.

It's literally the chunky 9060 dad shoe in the front and a summer sandal in the back. Really, it's a dad shoe-slash-sandal-slash mule, and it's even complete with a back strap, which makes it easier to slip on and off.

It all just depends on which shoe style you're craving. Dad sneaker-mule or dad sandal? Decisions, decisions.

Another cool thing about the model is its shoelaces. New Balance has swapped out the signature set for an adjustable, more outdoorsy lace system.

The 9060 Summer already looked trail-ready as is. With the hiking-style toggle laces, it truly looks ready for an outdoor adventure.

New Balance has already released a few colorways for its 9060 slip-on sandal. However, nothing says Summer quite like a clean white version.

The all-white pairs are scheduled to release on April 23 on atmos Tokyo's website for around $125, alongside an all-black pair.
