We’re entering peak season for the Nike ACG line. Though the “all conditions gear” initiative contains models fit for the wintery climates we’re leaving behind, the bulk of it is tailored towards environs you’ll face in the getaways ahead. The Nike ACG Watercat is perfect proof, stamping its presence in the Spring/Summer catalog with the “Iron Grey” edition we’ve got on tap.

Brought back to the fore in 2023, Nike has kept the Watercat in rotation over the past few Summer seasons, making this appearance welcome if not unsurprising. Sporting the tighter-knit woven construction that helped it reinvent itself as the Watercat+, the full closure up top makes for an easier sell when bringing these out of its aquatic intended environments and onto the street. The all-grey palette, comprised of the titular “Iron Grey,” “Anthracite,” and black, only furthers that idea, holding onto the classic ACG appeal with a flash of orange on the branded tongue tag.

Look for the Nike ACG Watercat “Iron Grey” Hitting the shelves as a part of the ongoing Summer 2025 slate, retailing for $125 upon arrival. Keep our Sneaker Release Dates page close by for further updates.
