For those among you that do not mind something a little more attention seeking on the foot, here comes the “Total Orange” Nike ACG Ashiko boot.

“Named after ninja ashiko foot spikes, which are used for climbing and traction although they could probably double as an effective weapon, this hiking boot’s namesake is traction, but the real innovation is in support and weight. Flywire and wire mesh encircle the midfoot and ankle with the strength that is normally achieved with clunkier materials.
