There are sneakers made for running, and then there are sneakers made for whatever the ACG Nike Picklejus is made for. Which appears to be — running up mountains like a literal goat. And the figurative kind too.

No, seriously, this sneaker was designed for rugged mountain-running, hence the elevation-friendly ZoomX midsole, created for uphill efficiency during long mountain treks.

Dual-molded construction works as one to support natural gait and a also provides a comfortable wear transition that can still hold its own through some mountainous terrain. Up top, lightweight Flyknit molds to the foot, offering a stable fit that doesn't compromise comfort in its pursuit of restraint.

Rainy days? A total non-factor thanks to the sneaker's hydrophobic yarn that repels water to keep things breathable and dry. Trench foot fears the ACG Picklejus.

Sock-like ankle cuffs at the collar further enhance the locked-in feel of the shoe while also swatting away whatever incidental debris might try to wriggle their way into your shoe.

Can't chase those Free Solo dreams with pebbles all up in your business.

Obviously there's lots of whispers circulating about Nike's GOAT status, but the Picklejus sneaker takes the speculation out of the equation with a literal incorporation of the artiodactyl animal's mountain-sturdy grip. GOATEK, ACG's proprietary traction platform, provides a 45 percent increase in wet traction.

Nike is taking its GOAT business especially seriously these days.
