Nike introduces the new ACG Phassad sneaker model, which launches for the 2025 roster. The model is doused in hues of Cave Stone and Aluminum. The Aluminum color boasts a cool blue, which offers some tonal contrast against the Cave Stone brown which makes up the majority of the upper, made from synthetic materials.
The same blue color makes its way onto the shoe's strap and branding. The branding is seen in the form of the Swoosh motif on the lateral side of the model, along with Air branding and ACG at the heel. A stark black hue continues at the mudguard, the part of the heel including the tab, and the outsole unit with traction.
