The Nike ACG Zegama release signals the next big step in Nike’s push toward high-performance trail running, arriving as one of the most rugged models in the All Conditions lineup. After momentum built around the ACG Ultrafly, this new pair shows how seriously Nike is treating the off-road category heading into its Summer 2026 debut.
The Zegama combines ZoomX cushioning with a new Cushlon 3.0 platform for a ride that feels lively and yet supportive on long climbs or fast descents. A forefoot rock plate and Vibram Megagrip outsole give the shoe a tougher edge that makes it proper trail-ready. The upper uses breathable but durable materials, with a built-in gaiter adding protection from debris. A small detail — Mt. Hood coordinates stamped on the heel — ties back to ACG’s deep Pacific Northwest roots and adds a nice storytelling touch.
What stands out is how the Zegama represents ACG’s evolving direction. The line is leaning harder into performance testing, and members of Nike’s growing ACG Trail Running team, including Caleb Olsen, praise how the pair balances cushioning, stability, and responsiveness across uneven terrain. It reads like a category reset for ACG.
The Nike ACG Zegama will release in Summer 2026 at select retailers and Nike.com.
