Even Nike’s Beautifully Beefy Hiking Shoe Has Its Grey Days
And so Nike's Zegama Hike era continues with the release of yet another good-looking version called "Photon Dust."
This time, the ACG sneaker-boot gets dressed up in the classic light grey color scheme, as also seen on the Zoom Vomero 5 dad shoes, a.k.a. the best pairs in the collection.
Underneath the grey 'fit, the ACG Zegama Hike flexes its usual trail-ready muscles, including its extra-chunky soles cushioned with different foams like Nike's Zoom X. It also features Vibram MegaGrip outsoles, promising even better durability and traction than standard Vibram rubber.
All that's missing is GORE-TEX. But the Zegama Hike is a genuine all-conditions beast without it.
However, if you're looking for a waterproof trail sneaker, Nike's other Zegama sneaker might do the trick.
The Hike is still relatively new to the game. There are only a handful of color options available, including "Light British Tan" and the timeless all-black. And here's the thing: they've all been quite stylish. Some pairs even look almost too good for the great outdoors.
But hey, they were designed to get down and dirty on the trails.
For those interested in the new "Photon Dust" pairs, they're now available on Nike's website for $190.
