There was plenty of intrigue surrounding the most recent SNKRS preview, confirming bring-backs for Deion Sanders shoes, the Air Tech Challenge II, and a litany of beloved models. However, perhaps the biggest takeaway was how little latency would come between those announcements and their market debuts, something highlighted by retailer images of the Nike ACG Rufus “Bold Berry.”

Indeed, the twill canvas refresh for the silhouette was in fact promised during that brand showcase in the “Bold Berry” shown here and a turquoise colorway we’re still anticipating. While ruggedness was always in focus for the ACG curio, the additional hardy fabric helps further that goal. Conversely, delicate “Bold Berry” hues applied in heavy doses add a more delicate feel to the Nike Rufus aesthetically, yet still connect to the vibrant backlog that ACG fans everywhere know and love.

Previous editions of the Rufus have hit SNKRS, while some have materialized straight through NDC. It’s unclear which route the Nike ACG Rufus “Bold Berry” will take, but expect their arrival this Spring. Enjoy detailed retailer images included ahead.
