Andrew Rizzo Quiet as kept, Nike ACG has been putting on a clinic in 2024. The Beaverton brand’s “All Conditions” division has brought back several archival bangers throughout 2024 thus far, covering a wide range of outdoor activities and appealing to the “gorpcore” niche all the same. The Air Exploraid was one of two models that helped kick off ACG’s first retro wave of the year, first released in original “Ash Green” before assuming a variety of all-new looks. Now tapping into 1990s trail shoe aesthetics once more, Nike has a fresh color-blasted mix on tap for the holidays.
Rich in nostalgia, the top half of the shoes features a balanced mix of “Light Wild Mango,” “Laser Fuchsia,” and “Dark Raisin,” the latter of which accounts for the synthetic sock lining and midsole. Adding even more life to an already eccentric design, Nike also includes “University Gold” laces to match the retro ACG logo on the lateral heel.
As mentioned, pairs are currently slated to hit nike.com during the Holiday 2024 shopping season for $140 in men’s sizing. Let the official image gallery below guide your purchase decision.
Staying under the ACG umbrella, the Nike ACG Izy is mounting a comeback this year.
