Nike All Conditions Gear is known for its especially exuberant brand of outdoor and offroad gear, but even during the division’s eras of peak production, Nike Running has often blazed their own paths. Not every trail-ready runner with a Swoosh has to feature the ACG triangle logo on it as well, and the latest instance just might be one of the best rugged releases from the running division yet. The Nike Air Trail Ridge 2 Shield applies the same weather-beating technology that came on the the six-pack of grey, white and orange runners released in October and followed up last week with the new Free TR 2. These do the ‘Vintage Box’ look proud with a Max Air-cushioned sole that’s as beefy as any we’ve seen with visible bubbles; how do they match up against the more street-oriented Shield runners, or Nike ACG standouts like the Lunar MacLeay, for that matter? Let us know with a comment when you click through to see more images and look for these at select retailers including Kicks-crew.
