Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 89.6 / 100 — « The Nike ACG Zegama Trail is a versatile trail shoe that works well across many terrains. We found its Vibram outsole as reliable as usual, while the midsole delivers a comfortable ride with good energy return. We also liked its flexible build, solid shock absorption, and improved stability, especially for long outings and mixed-terrain adventures. However, it's still heavy, upper durability disappointed us, and the high price is becoming harder to justify against newer rivals. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 88.5 / 100 — « In Nike's trail & montagne lineup, the ACG Zegama Trail pairs a fluid forefoot roll with leg-saving ZoomX cushioning (271 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • Better Running Shoes : 81.8 / 100 — « Pairing Nike's ZoomX platform with a 4 mm drop, the ACG Zegama Trail impresses in real-world trail testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
