I have to warn you that this journey is going to be a long one. Nike’s outdoor division, ACG, has prepared a release of the new Air Zoom Gaiadome at the start of winter that will take you anywhere. A release defined by a solid outsole, waterproof upper and the ability to keep you warm where all other thermal systems fail is also accompanied by a collection of apparel. And you can find it all together online now at Footshop.

The Nike ACG Air Zoom Gaiadome is the shoe for anyone looking for the ideal footwear for off-road trips wilder than the pre-Christmas atmosphere in shopping malls. Rocks, mountains, mud or even swamps are environments that will call these high, irresistible outdoor shoes sir. You won’t have to worry about a rock lying in the path deforming your thumb. Rather, it’s the mineral that will tremble with fear for its millions of years old form at the sight of an approaching adventurer in a new pair from Nike ACG.

All these superpowers of the new ACG shoes are built on a solid foundation of technology that’s been proven by time and experience in addition to terrain and conditions. The upper of the shoe is covered in waterproof Gore-Tex material with a high water column, so you can stay comfy even in the mountains – the snow will see your fingertips at most in a picture demonstrating what this winter’s snow won’t get to. Comfort on uneven ground will be taken care of by the Zoom cushioning technology that expands in the back of the midsole. The ankle is wrapped with thick panels that not only strengthen your entire foot but also reliably protect the most injury-prone part of your body that you won’t get far without. That brings me to the very beginning, this is gonna be a long journey.

The Nike ACG Air Zoom Gaiadome is, in short, a stylish pair of shoes that don’t have to worry about anything that could potentially threaten you from the ankle down on your travels. The accompanying apparel collection will take care of the rest, which you can already find online at Footshop, along with several colourways of the shoes. And I’ll remind you of what the current urban trend has been convincing us about for the past few years – this pair will look great as part of an urban outfit, too.
