After a few years in rotation, the Nike ACG Mountain Fly has finally received an update and it's a big one. The ACG design team took all of the lessons they learned with the Mountain Fly, refined the approach and applied new thinking to create the Mountain Fly 2. Seen here in Low configuration, at a glance it's almost hard to see the similarities with the original Mountain Fly, with a full reworking of the concept. The novel lacing system of the original has been replaced with a more traditional spec with a toggle for quick adjustment. The rugged outsole remains, the updated tread draws inspiration from mountain bike tyres – providing traction across all manner of surfaces. The heel is rounded to help prevent irritation around the achilles, whilst the sock-like construction has been ditched for a more conventional tongue.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I’m always on the lookout for a good hiking shoe once the weather starts warming up. The ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low definitely doesn’t disappoint. They do feel a little clunky at first, and I recommend breaking them in a little with casual wear before you go on a long hike. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. The uppers have a mesh material on the sides that let your feet breathe, which is really nice on hotter days. The soles are really thick and sturdy, and provide a lot of cushioning and grip. I really love the toe cap that covers the upper front of the shoes. It provides a lot of protection and durability. You don’t have to worry about stubbing your toes on rocks or tree roots. Having draw string type laces are also a ... MoreI live in the Pacific Northwest and I’m always on the lookout for a good hiking shoe once the weather starts warming up.

Love the colorway and the graphic elements and textures. All in all I’d definitely recommend these if your looking for a really good quality hiking shoe that looks awesome too.

I am now a self proclaimed super fan of the ACG Mountain Low v1 and even more-so the v2! Nike ACG design team has significantly improved a great product in this update. (I own and have hiked Vermont/New Hampshire in the v1, olive green). The v2 has a more rigid sole plate than the v1, an improvement in my opinion. This update has stability where the v1 was a bit bouncy. I have worn both the v1 and v2 for all day outings. The v2 lace system is vastly improved with the compression clip and centered lace pocket nearer the toe. The uppers are well vented with a mesh panel while the footbed is wrapped high to keep the soles dry while handing all terrain. The soles are heavily articulated with rubber toothing for good grip while on trails of mixed footing.

I highly recommend these for consideration in footwear for outdoor adventures or urban street west style, versatile to both venues. I hope future versions come out in alternate color palettes to expand the offering!

When trail running-or casually walking-there are a few important attributes your shoe selection should have;Durability, Stability and Comfort.For these ACG Mountain Fly 2s, let’s start with durability. The shoe looks and feels serious, and is constructed in such a way that it can handle anything a trail can throw at you. The outsole and sidewalls are made of a thicker rubber which means that any rocks or roots that are sticking up out of the ground that would interrupt your gate or trip you up are virtually unnoticeable. The tread also has tons of grip so walking or running on loose soil is also not a problem at all. Frankly, it feels more at home on tougher terrain than concrete. Nike has also put small rubber spikes on the tread to further emphasize that ... MoreWhen trail running-or casually walking-there are a few important attributes your shoe selection should have;Durability, Stability and Comfort.For these ACG Mountain Fly 2s, let’s start with durability.

If this review were only about durability, it would be a 5/5.Stability wise it’s the same story. I took these on quite a few hikes and found myself wanting to tackle hills with a sharper gradient than I was used to. Somehow as thick as the outsole is, it never felt heavy or lumbering as I was climbing or walking. 5/5 here as well.Comfort wise I would say that outside of the trail it felt a little like overkill. These shoes are purpose built, but for an every day walker I found myself reaching for something else. ACG may stand for all conditions gear but for normal walking around, I’m not sure if these are the best fit.The same goes for the styling. They certainly look the part with all the spikes, mesh uppers and aggressive branding but did feel a little conspicuous wearing with a regular pair of shorts and going to Whole Foods. Transparently that may be a bit unfair because these were built for the specific purpose of outdoors activities and for that it accomplishes its mission brilliantly. Anyone looking to get in the outdoors-the proper outdoors-should have a pair of these in their closet.

These are a superb option for any conditions requiring a mix of comfort and durability. I used these frequently on trails for a few trips, and they've held up well in both wet and dry conditions - pavement, mud, sand, gravel - these handle them all. While they're not the most comfortable pair I've ever worn, the generous midsole and Ortholite inserts make them well suited for a day's journey. With the ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low, you can activate your inner goat to go over all terrain before you.Fit - These take a minute to break in, most notably around the toe area. This largely has to do with its roomy construction (especially notable for how Nike silhouettes tend to run more narrow) as well as the rubber mudguard atop the toebox.

This largely has to do with its roomy construction (especially notable for how Nike silhouettes tend to run more narrow) as well as the rubber mudguard atop the toebox. While I like this feature for protecting the wearer from mud and debris, it can take some getting used to. Once broken in though, they're true to size and fit well around the foot, with the toggle lacing mechanism both providing a lot of lockdown and ease of removal. And even through all that foam in the midsole, I can still feel the ground beneath me to help balance myself in rough terrain.Comfort - I was surprised at how comfortable these were after hours of hiking around. The Ortholite insoles really do a lot of the heavy lifting, but they provide quite a bit of arch support for those with more pronounced arches. While they're definitely not as comfortable as something like my daily walking shoe, the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2, compared to a traditional pair of hiking boots they are a dream to wear, and don't sacrifice any stability underfoot.Design - I love the design overall. The overstated "ACG" along the outside gives it that in-your-face 90's aesthetic that I'm loving more and more. The simple colorway with the bright orange accents are also beautiful, and I can see quite a few colorways working great on this model. Between the beautiful lines to the rugged and aggressive outsole, they're a fine design overall. My only disagreement is the text on the laces, I always hate that feature because it ages terribly - especially with how the toggle mechanism rubs against certain areas over and over. The letters will inevitably fall off and leave the laces looking wonky. But looking past the laces, the design works wonderfully, both in form and function.There are plenty of things to love about the ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low. Chief among them are the traction, support, stability and durability. With the heavy-duty rubber outsole with its aggressive tread, it offers grip in every environment faced. The design works well enough that it can be photographed nicely even in rough conditions and with "character" developed over time. But most importantly, they're comfortable for those long hikes up and down the hills, without sacrificing longevity. Cannot love these things enough!
The ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low’s are a wonderful trail shoe. Used them for several hikes at a local trail and they performed superbly. They were also great as a daily shoe around town. The shoes fit great and with the adjustable laces it’s easy to slip them on and cinch them up for a snug fit. The foam midsole and lightweight plate helped ensure the shoes stayed comfortable enough for all day wear. The shoes feel great whether on your feet or in your hand as Nike used top quality materials as usual. The design of the Mountain Fly’s really pops. Especially in white. Often other trail shoes look funky but these look rugged, stylish, and functional. The best parts of the Mountain Fly’s are the built in functional features of adjustable laces, breathable upper, and ... MoreThe ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low’s are a wonderful trail shoe.

Often other trail shoes look funky but these look rugged, stylish, and functional. The best parts of the Mountain Fly’s are the built in functional features of adjustable laces, breathable upper, and wonderful traction. Adjustable laces make getting that perfect just right fit simple. The breathable upper was great, keeping my feet cool during exerting hikes and the traction was amazing. Whether on dirt, mud, or asphalt the shoes always had a sure grip. The only thing I would change about these shoes is offering them in more color ways. Overall this is a great trail shoe with plenty of functionality for both the casual hiker to the expert. Would not hesitate to take a trail with the Mountain Fly 2 Low’s.
Fit & feel - in my opinion the fit and feel of a shoe is the most important. These fit and feel pretty awesome! I have a pretty neutral foot, not too narrow or wide, and I’d say these run true to size. They feel good on foot too. Not ultra cushy, but definitely comfortable!Design - these are definitely built for outdoor use. They have a thick, rugged outsole which is good for all different terrains. The traction nubs are really pronounced, and they definitely do their job. I didn’t notice myself slipping, or having trouble getting my footing while hiking. That same rubber from the outsole extends up the heel, and onto the toe for added durability in high wear areas. The midsole is nice and thick which adds even more to the durability of the shoe.

That same rubber from the outsole extends up the heel, and onto the toe for added durability in high wear areas. The midsole is nice and thick which adds even more to the durability of the shoe. The midsole thickness also gives your foot a higher ride and helps keep you protected from the elements. The upper is very lightweight, and breathable. You can see there are vents in the mesh-like upper that really allow for good breathability and air flow. The rubbery sidewall is a nice touch too. It makes the shoes easier to clean after all my outdoor adventures. I love the quick lacing system too! The lace lock really holds the laces in place and allows you to easily tighten or loosen the laces quickly.Comfort - these are comfier than expected. I have a pair of the ACG Mountain Fly 1 Low with the react foam midsole and was a little bummed to see that these didn’t have react foam as well. When I tried these on, I wasn’t bummed anymore. While they’re not as cushy as the Mountain Fly Low 1, they’re still quite comfy. I definitely didn’t have any issues with discomfort while wearing these casually or on the trails. The tongue and padded collar add to the comfort as well and are a nice improvement from the previous model. My foot really felt locked in and I felt very stable/secure when hiking the trails.Pros/cons - There are definitely more pros than cons when it comes to the ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low. They’re comfortable, they perform well in the elements and on the trails, and they’re very stylish! The main drawback is that they’re not great for rainy weather because the upper is so breathable. Maybe we’ll see a weatherproof version in the near future to solve that problem. Overall, I am a big fan of this shoe! I love what Nike is doing with the ACG line and I look forward to checking out more ACG gear in the future!
Let's just start this out by stating how excellent a pair of shoes these are for just about any activity on-the-fly! I've owned a TON of different pairs of Nike shoes but this was the first pair of ACG's I've ever tried out. Suffice it to say that the 'All Conditions Gear' moniker is a pretty accurate description. Specific sports might not be played best in these (such as basketball, for example) but this is an exceptional pair of shoes for just about any outdoor activity. I was intrigued by the tread on these shoes--it reminds me a lot of the look of the sidewall on a brand new tire. With that in mind I was anxious to see what these felt like on-feet.When I first tried these on, I immediately noticed a slightly negative aspect about the wrap-around/over outsole ... MoreLet's just start this out by stating how excellent a pair of shoes these are for just about any activity on-the-fly!

Specific sports might not be played best in these (such as basketball, for example) but this is an exceptional pair of shoes for just about any outdoor activity. I was intrigued by the tread on these shoes--it reminds me a lot of the look of the sidewall on a brand new tire. With that in mind I was anxious to see what these felt like on-feet.When I first tried these on, I immediately noticed a slightly negative aspect about the wrap-around/over outsole in the toe box. I'm not sure if this was purely meant to be a design aesthetic or what I could possibly see being a nod to the 'rands' found on rock climbing shoes. I digress though. Due to the lower temps that morning, my shoes were a little colder than they normally would be. This can obviously have an effect on certain materials--in this case the rubber of the outsole. Normally this wouldn't be an issue as the outsole is usually only found on the bottom of the shoe for tread and cushioning. But since this outsole wraps over/on top of the toe box, it resulted in some discomfort for me personally. I would take this complaint with a grain of salt, however, as each person's foot shape and how it interacts with the different contours of a pair of shoes is always going to be different. What is uncomfortable for me might not be uncomfortable at all for someone else. I did notice that after a little while though, the uncomfortable feeling went away. I presume this could have been due to the increasing temperature of the rubber outsole, thus making the toe box more pliable to the movement against my toes inside the shoe.Other than that small detail, everything else in the shoe was very comfortable for me. They fit great and one place I felt this shoe particularly shined was when walking across rocky surfaces, such as a graveled road--lots of support and very little effect from the rocks against the soles of my feet. Other shoes I have worn in similar settings would allow me to sketch out a map of where sharp or pointy rocks were protruding into the soles of my feet. Not the case with these shoes! With that in mind, these shoes seem to be focused on trails. The design of them would be a good place to start while referencing that notion.I recall seeing these shoes for the first time on the Nike SNKRS app and although I wouldn't consider myself quite a 'sneakerhead', I buy a LOT of shoes and tend to have a general style I gravitate towards in my purchases. That style does not usually involve shoes like these. But the design and style of them is what originally caught my eye. I thought, "These are different...but I like them!" Something about the contrast between the white and the dark gray/black colors found on the shoe, sprinkled with a few hints of the "bright mandarin" color way just made me look twice. After looking through the pictures a bit more, I was intrigued and decided I would probably give them a try. I was glad I did! I pretty easily wore these all-day long and don't recall feeling much discomfort other than that initial discomfort previously mentioned above.One thing I liked about this shoe was the lacing system. At a glance, it looks like any typical lacing system but look a little closer and you quickly realize that it's more of a drawstring lacing system with what has been referred to before as a 'shoelace button' used to essentially lock in the user's preferred tightness. Very handy feature and no need for tying any laces!The only thing I would change about this shoe, as you might be able to imagine after having read this review, would be the design of the toe box. I wouldn't have the outsole cutoff line come up as high as it does. Realizing that this is quite possibly a big part of making this shoe more versatile in its use, I would at the very least add a slight amount of padding on the inside of the upper to cushion the impact of the tops of the toes against the toe box.Other than that, great and very comfortable pair of shoes with MANY uses. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a great everyday and durable, but pleasant pair of shoes to run around in and get things done!
Another win from Nike and ACG. These have become one of my favorite pairs of shoes. While not the most comfortable in the world, you can log some serious miles from daily walking to some trail running and definitely hiking.The sole is very stiff, leading to a longer than average break in period. The benefit of this is increased durability, especially on altered terrain. I loved the covered toe box, which made me feel confident on rocky hikes. The excess protrusion isn’t overly noticeable which allowed these to be great daily wears. As with most ACG products, these are great as function built shoes as well as with your favorite tech wear outfit. The design is very attractive while also being approachable.The lace design was great for hiking as I was never ... MoreAnother win from Nike and ACG.

The design is very attractive while also being approachable.The lace design was great for hiking as I was never concerned, nor dealt with, the knot coming undone. Nike thought of it all by also including a lace catch at the bottom of the tongue.The upper is soft enough to move with you, while also being insanely durable for anything I would throw at them. An added benefit were the small spikes throughout the shoe that added in grip on dirt and rocks. Similarly, while the upper was durable and stiff, they were very breathable which I find rarer and rarer in purpose built hiking shoes.Padding has also been added to the tongue, heel, and upper ankle to add in all day comfort as well. I cannot say enough good things about these for both terrain and daily wear. I’ve started adapting my outfits to wear these as often as possible.
Loving the shoe so far!. As for sizing, those with wider feet like me, I recommend going half a size up for a perfect fit. Loosening the laces too much might lead to heel slippage during hikes. The shoe feels comfortable, sturdy, and ready for short hikes or trail runs.The Nike ACG team did an amazing job with the colorblocking! I love the white contrasting black lines and mandarin orange accents on lace clips and tags. The symmetrical rubberized toecap offers great protection, and the mesh panels provide breathability. The thick bike tire-like outsole not only looks solid but feels durable.While the shoe is comfortable overall, my only gripe was that my pinky toe occasionally hitting the side rubber.

While some extra space on the sides and GORE-TEX would have been welcomed, these shoes are still fantastic for short hikes and trail runs. Still a great looking shoe for short summer hikes or trail runs!
The Nike ACG Mountain fly 2 low is a grippy and versatile hiking shoe that fits true to size and is well constructed . The shoe has many traits that I really enjoy, from the materials, to the color, to the function and performance of the shoe. What I like most about the shoe are the quality materials they are made with.The uppers of the shoe is made of a mesh material that is breathable and great for summer hikes. Be advised, the mesh is far from waterproof and is highly permeable. The soles are constructed of a durable rubber that has great grip. The rubber continues about midway up the shoe, so even though the mesh is not waterproof, your feet will stay dry even if the shoes get wet midway up.

The shoe has many traits that I really enjoy, from the materials, to the color, to the function and performance of the shoe. What I like most about the shoe are the quality materials they are made with.The uppers of the shoe is made of a mesh material that is breathable and great for summer hikes. Be advised, the mesh is far from waterproof and is highly permeable. The soles are constructed of a durable rubber that has great grip. The rubber continues about midway up the shoe, so even though the mesh is not waterproof, your feet will stay dry even if the shoes get wet midway up. I have worn these all summer on hikes and in an inch or two of water have had no issues with slipping or getting wet socks.I have the color way that is primarily white and grey with orange accenting. They are very easy to match and I have worn them for hiking and casual wear. They are comfortable even after walking miles!These have become my favorite hiking shoes and I look forward to wearing them on weekends for adventures. They are my third pair of ACGs and by far my favorite to wear as they are the most functional and comfortable. I don’t think I would change anything about this shoe.
