Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail

Forward propelling with solid grip that’s fine on tarmac as blades are short. Wide front footprint like original invincible and original vaporfly rear. Great uphill. Basically bin all your legacy trail shoes.

Incredible trail shoe from Nike…well balanced shoe with a great lockdown. The zoomx is much softer than its predecessor but still offers the connection a trial runner needs from foot to ground. The sole is quite aggressive but you don’t feel it running on tarmac or light trail which is really important to me. I took just under a minute a mile of my pb for a coastal run wearing this shoe, it blew me away. The colour is a lot brighter than the pic and really is an eye catching wear…11/10.

My first run with these today. Ran a 3 mile trail single track loop that I typically run 4 times/week. New shoes always give me a placebo effect but my perceived effort was less than previous runs and I was 15 seconds per mile faster in these ACGs. They felt awesome out of the box on this non-technical single track. The price is a little steep for a pair of trail runners but they are plated, lightweight and well built. I was impressed. Nike treated me great. This was my second pair. I had one run in my previous pair and the Zoom X foam had a tear near the heal. My first run out was on a technical and rocky trail so not sure if I hooked a rock or something but they took my return and sent me a new pair very quickly and easily. I will use these ACGs on smoother single track and save some more robust shoes for rockier technical trails. Can't wait to get some more miles on them!
