In the nearly three decades that have come and gone since Nike’s All Conditions Gear imprint first debuted, few shoes have embraced ACG’s functional, outdoors-centric ethos while still accomplishing eye-catching good looks like 1989’s Nike ACG Wildwood. Truly, the shoe helped put the label on the map.
And it’s not just for the committed outdoorsman among us. The same qualities that made the shoe an elite trail runner — polyurethane Footframe supporting the shoe; aggressive edges adding any-surface traction to the waffle outsole; rugged, durable upper — make it a perfect everyday silhouette for the wet, colder winter months.
So the timing couldn’t be better, really. The two colorways you see here — Cargo Khaki/Hyper Pink, Light Ash/Hyper Pink — are early samples of an expected Holiday 2014 retro. Nope, we can’t wait either.
Further details as they develop.
