Hybrid design in the fashion industry has become quite popular as brands seek to support the varied, active lifestyle of many consumers which is exactly what's at work with the new Nike ACG Air Nasu 2 sneakers. The second-generation footwear style maintains a comfortable design that is ready for the trail but also suited for life in the urban environment to accommodate the needs of modern consumers. This comes in the form of a ripstop upper section that's hard-wearing along with a toe bumper on the front and a series of heel counter panels to increase overall durability.
The Nike ACG Air Nasu 2 sneakers feature the namesake Air cushioning that works alongside the EVA midsole and an aggressive outsole to deliver enhanced comfort as well as stability.
