sacai is one of the most prominent partners working closely with [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magmascape) and the brand does it once again with the impressive Zegamadome sneaker model. The shoes are joining the roster for the Spring/Summer 2025 season and blend elements of the [Nike trail running shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hierro-v8-trail) with elements of a technical blend.

At the top of the shoe is a chunky upper that rests on a mixed sole unit done on purpose. It is essentially a blend between the classic Lava Dome hiking boot and the Zoom X Zegma trial shoe. When this is fused together, it forms a technical upper with paneling accents and is secured in place with crisscrossed laces. The toe boxes are blended and sacai has a classic layered sole over a grippy Vibram unit.
