All Conditons Gear (ACG) is redefining what's possible on the trail with the introduction of the Zegama Hike, a performance hiking boot designed to blur the lines between running and hiking footwear.
Built to move confidently across rugged terrain while delivering lightweight responsiveness and all-day comfort, the Zegama Hike brings ACG's most advanced performance innovations to hiking footwear - serving outdoor athletes who demand stability, protection and cushioning, no matter the conditions or terrain.
The Zegama Hike is the first hiking option within ACG's performance footwear lineup following the brand's reintroduction in February. The boot combines the lightweight, responsive DNA of the Zegama Trail running shoe with the durability and support required for longer, more demanding hikes, creating a new standard for modern hiking footwear.
"Zegama Hike is disruptive for all the right reasons, bringing the best of Nike innovation into hiking and delivering a holistic system that puts the athlete's needs at the center," says Brenden McAleese, Director, ACG Footwear. "ACG is doing what the brand does best: dreaming up performance gear wrapped in ACG-only magic."
At the foundation of the Zegama Hike is a trail-specific last with increased room in the forefoot and toe box, providing a comfortable fit for long days on the trail. A stacked foam construction doubles down on that comfort, with a plush, responsive layer of trail-tuned ZoomX foam sitting directly underfoot, cradled by a more protective, rigid foam designed to enhance durability and stability on uneven terrain.
To keep athletes locked in on technical trails, the mid-cut Zegama Hike features a best-in-class fit system designed to deliver secure containment and confidence in every step, stabilizing the heel and ankle on steep climbs and downhill treks. Durability is built into every element of the upper, with rubberized overlays, reinforced toe and heel guards, and a precise ankle gaiter that helps keep trail debris out while maintaining comfort over extended wear.
Underfoot, the Zegama Hike is equipped with Vibram Megagrip technology that delivers trusted traction on wet and dry surfaces alike. Designed to enhance downhill stability and control, a wider base and robust rubber coverage give outdoor athletes the confidence to move efficiently across steep, rocky trails with a full pack.
What's more, the silhouette brings forward a bold look that steps beyond that of a traditional hiking boot, contrasting the simple lines traditional to trekking footwear with fresh ACG design elements and striking colorways that stand out on any trail.
ACG developed the Zegama Hike by listening closely to the evolving needs of outdoor athletes seeking lighter hiking footwear that delivers all-day comfort and protection on rugged terrain. ACG tested prototypes extensively on trails around the world, from long hikes in Oregon to treks in the Alps, fit testing with a local run club in Korea, partnering with an urban hiking group in Los Angeles, and working alongside collegiate athletes in Utah. All the while, ACG innovators pushed the silhouette through 8- to 10-hour hikes with full packs to ensure consistent performance under real-world conditions.
The Zegama Hike represents the continued evolution of ACG's footwear lineup, which is built to make it easier for outdoor athletes to find the responsiveness, comfort and durability they need to run, hike and explore. Designed with direct input from outdoor athletes and tested across every surface and season, ACG footwear is made to perform, hold up and stand out - wherever the trail leads.
The ACG Zegama Hike will be available in July 2026 at allconditionsgear.com and select retail locations.
