Now these are defiantly on a whole different level, and appear to take us back thousands of years to the days of the Romans. Although thats the route you have to believe Nike was going with this new sandal which they have called the Gladiator Mid. Using somewhat of the same design technique as a pair of Roman sandals, this new aged Roman inspired sandal, which Nike has designed strictly for the ladies, gives you that vibe that the sandals actually wrap up around your ankle and calf.

So far two basic colorups of the Nike Gladiator Mid have been designed by the ladies, black and white. Both are available now through select retailers such as Colette.
