Nike introduces its new ACG Watercat footwear model in an Iron Gray colorway palette. This is set to join the brand's Summer 2025 seasonal roster. The silhouette is prepared for summer activities with its build meant for the water. The upper is complete in the sleek grey tone with a knit woven finish.
ACG branding can be seen in the form of the orange tongue tag, the debossed heel motif, and the outsole unit. The insoles are finished in a special maroon hue, which offers a cracked plastic visual. The model is complete with the matching midsole and outsole -- the outsole offers additional grip and traction for water activities. It is all enclosed with toggle lacing over the tongue.
