Slowly but surely Nike ACG is back BIG TIME. After their first comeback steps throughout 2025 and the big bang around the Olympics in Milano-Cortina, they've re-equipped the store and start to release more and more product, such as the Lavaloft down jacket and the ACG Ultrafly. Now they've also officially presented the Pegasus Trail ACG and somehow already have a full range of trail running shoes. The Pegasus Trail is at the entry level, the day-to-day runner, so to say. The Zegama will become their durable workhorse for the long races and the Ultrafly (that's already been released) is their pinnacle race product. BWe've done a little breakdown of all the models below, so you might wanna check it out:
Nike ACG Pegasus Trail: the day-to-day trailrunner:
On the road, on the trail, and everywhere in between, the ACG Pegasus Trail is built to handle a wide range of terrain. The All-Terrain Compound 2.0 outsole provides reliable traction, even on wet ground. The ReactX midsole delivers a cushioned and stable ride, helping you stay comfortable over longer distances.
The latest version of the All-Terrain Compound (ATC) outsole marks a noticeable improvement in wet-weather grip, offering solid traction in slippery conditions. We’ve also slightly increased the stack height of the ReactX midsole to create a softer underfoot feel while maintaining stability on moderately technical trails.
The Pegasus Trail’s last has been refined specifically for off-road use, with additional room in the forefoot and toe box where it matters most. The upper is made from a secure, engineered mesh that adds structure and support without feeling restrictive.
Nike is introducing the ACG Zegama, a rugged update to its Zegama trail running line designed for long distances in demanding terrain. Positioned within Nike’s All Conditions Gear lineup, the shoe focuses on cushioning, traction, and stability for runners who spend extended time on unpredictable trails.
The biggest change comes in the midsole. The ACG Zegama combines ZoomX foam with Cushlon 3.0, aiming to balance soft cushioning with a more stable platform underfoot. According to Nike, athlete testing played a major role in shaping the design, including adjustments like a wider toe box and trail-specific tuning of the foam.
Underneath, the shoe uses a Vibram Megagrip outsole with an updated lug pattern for traction on both wet and dry surfaces. A forefoot rock plate protects against sharp rocks, while a modified heel bump is meant to help with foot placement on steep or technical sections.
The Nike ACG Zegama is expected to release on Nike.com and at select retailers in summer 2026.
With the ACG Ultrafly, Nike continues to push its trail running lineup toward faster, more technical terrain. The shoe is designed for runners who want lightweight performance without giving up grip or protection on unpredictable trails.
At the center is an updated ZoomX midsole, intended to deliver responsive cushioning while staying durable enough for rough surfaces. A 7/8 split carbon Flyplate sits inside the midsole, offering torsional support and propulsion, but with slightly less stiffness than the plate used in the original Ultrafly.
Underfoot, the shoe features a Vibram Megagrip outsole with Lightbase technology, which reduces weight while maintaining the traction Vibram is known for. The lug pattern is strategically placed to improve grip, especially when climbing.
Up top, a breathable VaporMesh upper is designed to be both durable and water-shedding. A reinforced tongue and internal fit band help keep the foot secure, particularly on longer trail efforts.
Overall, the Ultrafly leans into a simple idea: a fast trail shoe that still feels stable and confident when the terrain gets rough. The Nike ACG Ultrafly 2 is already available via Nike.
