The imminent arrival of spring is signaling the end of winter weather which still brings with it ample rain and mud, so the Nike ACG GORE-TEX Mountain Fly sneaker is here to offer a great transitional footwear option.
The sneakers were tested in Oregon to ensure they're ready to withstand mucky conditions and boast a lightweight construction that includes a proprietary 4% Zoom Vaporfly Trail Frame. An ankle gator offers adjustable protection from mud or rain, while the use of GORE-TEX gives the footwear a weather-resistant design to combat against waterlogged feet.
The Nike ACG GORE-TEX Mountain Fly sneaker is finished with reflective detailing to prioritize visibility in low-light conditions and are available now via the brand's website for $220.
