Does anybody have recommendations on actual Nike/ACG shoes that are made for hiking and not trail running?
Not hiking on some crazy mountains but small paths with dirt roads with some light climbing over rocks type stuff.
Most of the Nike stuff seems to be tailored towards actual trail running.
I had my eyes on the Cygnal but those seem more like everyday city walking with "hiking inspired" cues.
There is also the Mountain Fly 2 Low but I don't know if those are for running or for actual hiking.
Same thing with the Exploraid.

I use the mountain fly low for hiking. Also the tera zaherra, the mowabb, and even the air mada.

What are your thoughts on the mountain fly?
I have the Trails End Brown Mowabb but can't bring myself to use those babies on the trails.

They're nice to hike in. The bounce makes them pretty comfy and the gore-tex comes in handy for streams and the like. If you're doing serious terrain, however, they might be too soft to navigate without some instability. I used to exclusively buy Merrell's until ACG starting coming back. Those are very durable and stable, but NOT cushy at all. Way prefer any of the ACGs I mentioned for the hiking I do. If you're carrying a large backpack, the Mowabbs or Madas would probably provide more support than the other two.

Hopefully the trail line stays fantastic like it has the last few years, and all they do is slap the ACG triangle logo on it instead of the triangle trail logo they've been using.

That prototype shirt with all the holes in it reminds me of ISPA stuff. Honestly I’d love for a mashup between ISPA and ACG

Finally gotta chance to wear these lol. Bought them a few years back and never got into hiking as I planned too. But I packed them for work trip to Maui. Super comfortable and I’m glad I went .5 
. After a full day of walking they’re great. I plan on using these more often when I get back and hopefully this is the kickstart I needed to get back into hiking and more into nature.
