Nike ACG Air Mada Shoes in Black and Anthracite. An outdoor orientated silhouette inspired by ‘90s era ACG styles, the Nike ACG Air Mada is an all-terrain shoe designed and tested in Oregon, USA. Styled with tough leather uppers with neoprene-like underlays and a sticky rubber toe cap, this low collar sneaker also features a large lug rubber outsole that’s over extended across the rear for maximised traction. An air cushioned heel delivers additional comfort, whilst the hiking style five eyelet lacing system and the mirrored pull tabs pay homage to classic Nike Hiking aesthetics. Exposed cage stitching can be seen across each side wall, with cut-through Swooshes and debossed ACG logos styled across the lateral quarters. Signed off in an earthy colourway with rubberised ‘Nike Air’ branding displayed beneath each heightened heel collar.

Originally released in 1994 and inspired by other ACG profiles such as the Air Mowabb and Deschutz Sandal, the Nike ACG Air Mada is an outdoor shoe built with the subdivision’s utilitarian narrative in mind. Pairing protection with adaptability, Nike ACG’s explorative design style is one that has continued to inspire many since its establishment during the early ‘90s.
