NIKE ACG thread

[timmydee]

Had a pair of those back in the day. Loved the bouncy sole. Only bummer was the outsole pretty easily separated from the midsole at the heel. Had to glue it a few times.

I wish the AO were waterproof. Would be the perfect everyday shoe in the NW

got the khaki mountain flys in

I might be the only one who doesn’t like the mountain flys. My heel slips a lot, and they are just pretty clunky in my opinion. I do like the plushness of the midsole though.

i love how light they feel and i think im just used to the plate because ive used the zoomflys casually

I have all colors of those, a bit baggy but it's tapered, length is perfect for a short guy like me.

Couldn’t get myself to pay $75, but for $40, sure!

You’re not alone. I think I’m going to return mine for the same reason. Too much heel slip.

Hope that it’s a sign for some mids in men’s....

Without Air, and without the ACG tongue label

I’m sorry but that looks like basura.

I think I’m gonna bite the bullet and pay resell on the Mountain Fly.

I appreciate that. I’m typically a size 13, but I have wide feet and I heard these run narrow, so I’m looking for a size 14.

I live right down the street from a nice mountain I want to try them on. I currently have the Zaherras in a 14 and wear them with thick socks.

So, the OG had Air sole actually? Never had a chance to own them and can’t even tell whether these are Lahar or Lahar II retro tho... Also since I can’t really find the pic of vintage pair that says it’s the Lahar 1, it is making me wonder whether these are all Lahar 2 and what is supposed to be the OG Lahar is those Lahar (Escape edition tho) in the last pic.

Amazingly enough the mid above reminds me of the Air Khumbu from the early 90s. I would love a retro of the Khumbu.

Also a nod to Nike Regrind program back in the 90s before it was socially responsible to recycle shoe parts and use them in the outsole a la Space Hippie line. (Check the regrind logo on the bottom outsole)

This 100%. I absolutely love my pair but not having a waterproof upper kills the vibe of me wanting to use it in the rain, especially since the upper is so breathable because of the mesh; the water just soaks through so easily.

I didn't realize they weren't waterproof until after a super muddy/wet hike I did hahaha. I had on good socks though. But when I got home I hosed down the shoes and the insides were fulled with water. I didn't really read anything about the shoes when I got them so I just kind of assumed.

The Mountain Fly fit the bill but not for the price.

The toe box material is porous; you can see your socks thru them ;-). With the drainage system, the AOs really are about getting wet as opposed to keeping water out. Wish the mesh wasn't open like that though as even casual walking/hikes is likely to get dirt inside, which is annoying.
