Nike Unveils the ACG Zegama Built for Ultra Distance Trail Running and Extreme Terrain

Nike has introduced the ACG Zegama, a next-generation trail running shoe engineered for ultramarathon distances and extreme terrain, positioning it as the most durable and max-cushioned model in the brand’s All Conditions running lineup.

Built for endurance athletes, the ACG Zegama pairs exposed ZoomX foam with a stabilizing Cushlon 3.0 layer, delivering high energy return while maintaining control on technical trails. The platform is reinforced with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, updated lug geometry, and a forefoot rock plate to handle steep climbs, sharp descents, and unpredictable surfaces.

Fit and protection were redesigned for long-haul performance. A new trail-specific last introduces a roomier toe box to reduce pressure over extended mileage, while an adaptive gaiter, reinforced midfoot band, and enhanced heel geometry improve lockdown, stability, and debris protection.

The silhouette was developed and validated through Nike’s All Conditions Racing Department, with elite trail athletes logging up to 400 miles during testing cycles. Feedback from ultrarunners directly shaped the cushioning, traction, and fit system, ensuring race-ready performance across 50- to 100-mile distances.

The ACG Zegama extends Nike ACG’s trail innovation legacy, reinforcing the brand’s focus on athlete-led design and performance solutions across demanding environments.
