- Introducing the Nike ACG Zegama Hike
SummaryAs Nike ACG returns to its performance roots, it has just introduced its latest shoe: the ACG Zegama HikeBuilding atop the Zegama’s trail running DNA, it bridges the gap between performance hiking boot and running shoeLook out for it to launch this JulyNike ACG is back. While the brand never formally shut down — you may have seen ACG-branded products on shelves in recent years — it lost its edge. However, in February, it became clear that the Swoosh is committed to bringing back its “All Conditions Gear” mantra. Beyond recent collections like the innovation-backed Team USA 2026 Winter Olympics collection, the brand is back to signing athletes and sponsoring races, demonstrating a re-centering to performance.On the product side, its disruptive designs continue with today’s introduction of the ACG Zegama Hike. Its proposition is being built to “move confidently across rugged terrain while delivering lightweight responsiveness and all-day comfort.” What that translates to is building the light, responsive Zegama Trail into a durable boot-shoe hybrid that can handle demanding hikes. Its trail-oriented last features a spacious forefoot and toe, ensuring comfort throughout your journey. Meanwhile, a plush layer of ZoomX foam and a Vibram Megagrip outsole deliver a premium step. As for the upper, its reinforced build features an ankle gaiter to prevent debris from entering the boot.“Zegama Hike is disruptive for all the right reasons, bringing the best of Nike innovation into hiking and delivering a holistic system that puts the athlete’s needs at the center,” says Brenden McAleese, director of ACG footwear. “ACG is doing what the brand does best: dreaming up performance gear wrapped in ACG-only magic.”Nike hosted us for a special preview of the ACG Zegama Hike, where we unpacked what makes the shoe special. In addition, we were treated to an exclusive sneak peek of upcoming colorways. Joining the eye-catching launch colorway are two gray iterations. While one features a blue collar, both pairs toggle between different grays, and a black Vibram Megagrip outsole ensures they are all-terrain ready. From there, a black pair with gray detailing and tooling is joined by a stealthy all-black iteration, completing the initial range.Look out for the Nike ACG Zegama Hike to make its retail debut this July via Nike and select retailers.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
