  • Runnea : 87.0 / 100 — « Across our trail & montagne testing on trail, the Nike ACG Zegama Trail GTX impresses in real-world trail testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « The Nike ACG Zegama Trail GTX is expensive, heavy, and certainly not for everyone. However, we were impressed by how much it delivers in return. Our lab tests confirmed good wet-surface traction from the Vibram outsole, while the GORE-TEX upper brings waterproof protection and a welcome durability upgrade. We also liked the lively ZoomX cushioning and extra stability compared to the regular version. All in all, it's a fantastic option for trail runners who love its design and prioritize protection over weight. »
