[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-6) introduces a new iteration of the Air Moc 3.5 sneaker model with the same [slip-on design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-superfly-moc). It is now highlighted by the bright green colorway palette. Joining the ACG roster draws inspiration from the 80s and 90s to create a balanced look that is both retro and technical.

The new iteration has a quilted look throughout the upper in a bold green color with white and grey that make up the heel and outsole unit. Custom branding is seen in the form of the [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2) logo and the ACG motif that is seen along the heel and tongue loop. It is then rounded out by the badge on the heel that reads "Made on Earth."
