One of the most influential subsets in the illustrious history of Nike is its ACG line. Becoming prevalent in the 90s, this All Conditions Gear popularized a rugged, trail-ready aesthetic that has been replicated for years and has found an especially apparent niche in 2018’s maximalist sneaker climate. Serving as inspiration for countless creations this year, one of the most appreciated designs – while not officially associated with ACG – has got to be the Vapormax Run Utility. Nostalgic on top, modern underneath, the Vapormax Run Utility equips a clasp-style lacing system, spotted trail laces, and a utilitarian design meant to keep the wearer dry and warm. Vapormax bubbles under the hood are responsible for the modern cushioning of this iteration, keeping it in line with much of what the Swoosh has done in 2018, new innovations harkening back to past design language. Next up for the Run Utility is a Celestial Teal color scheme ready to keep you in-style regardless of the harsh weather on the horizon. While no official release date has been reported just yet, you can enjoy an official look at the newest Vapormax below and expect its Nike.com arrival sooner rather than later.
