Nike ACG Expands Trail Lineup for 2026
Nike ACG is restructuring its trail-running portfolio for 2026, introducing expanded iterations of the Pegasus Trail and Zegama lines alongside a new hiking-focused Zegama Hike model. The collection spans technical variants, including GORE-TEX waterproof editions, with retail prices ranging from $155 to $190.

The Portfolio Shift
Nike's outdoor-focused ACG division is making a deliberate move to segment its off-road footwear across distinct use cases. Rather than relying on a single workhorse model, the 2026 trail strategy introduces clearer product hierarchy: speed-oriented trail running, weather-sealed variants for unpredictable conditions, and a dedicated hiking platform for longer, load-bearing days. This approach mirrors how established outdoor brands structure their offerings, signaling ACG's maturation beyond pure performance into lifestyle territory.
Design Details
The Nike ACG Pegasus Trail bridges the gap between road and terrain, borrowing silhouette cues from the Pegasus 42 while swapping its standard foam for ReactX cushioning. The upper features engineered mesh constructed for durability, paired with a reinforced outsole engineered for dirt, rocks, and variable surfaces. Initial colorways include Spruce Fog/Sea Glass-Black Spruce (Style Code: HV8116-301) and ship at $155. Nike By You customization is available for added personalization.
The waterproof variant, the Pegasus Trail GTX, retains the core platform but integrates a GORE-TEX upper to shield against rain, mud, and snow. Multiple colorways are confirmed for launch throughout 2026, with women's sizing included in the rollout.
The Nike ACG Zegama Trail represents the line's technical centerpiece. ZoomX foam elevates cushioning for high-impact terrain, while a Vibram outsole—sourced from the Swiss specialist—delivers premium traction and grip. An integrated ankle cuff provides additional foot security on technical descents. Both men's and women's sizes launched at $180, with the Sea Glass/Team Crimson-Volt Tint-Burgundy Ash colorway (Style Code: HV8113-005) among the debut options.
A GORE-TEX iteration of the Zegama Trail follows, applying the weatherproof membrane to the same rugged platform. Additional colorways for both genders are slated for 2026.
New to the lineup, the Nike ACG Zegama Hike shifts focus away from running speed toward all-day durability. A heavier-duty construction prioritizes support and cushioning over longer distances, addressing the needs of backcountry enthusiasts tackling extended routes. Men's and women's sizes are available now at $190, with the Light Orewood Brown/Persian Violet-Cream II colorway (Style Code: IO7854-100) currently in stock.
Release Strategy and Availability
The Pegasus Trail and Zegama Trail launched August 7, 2026, with immediate availability across Nike's retail channels. The Zegama Hike is live now. GORE-TEX variants and additional colorways roll throughout 2026, with pricing to be confirmed on select future releases. Both the Pegasus Trail GTX and Zegama Trail GTX will see expanded color offerings later in the year.
