Matt Varga Though the Nike ACG catalog is filled with models that have reached cult classic status, the Watercat has a claim that most of its inline siblings don’t: a lane all to itself. The premier “water shoe” offering out of Beaverton, their amphibious appeal keeps on with each successive colorway, including this upcoming “Denim Turquoise” edition.
Trademark shades of “Denim Turquoise,” “Glacier Blue” and “Armory Navy” dominate the cord upper, the adjacent shades alternating between the horizontal and vertical weaves. Those with a keen eye will note that this arrangement inverts on the medial and lateral side of the shoe, adding some aesthetic appeal onto the utility minded kicks.

The Nike ACG Watercat+ is expected to materialize in Summer/Fall 2024, retailing for $125. Check out official images just ahead.
