Nike's ACG Rufus Appears in Seasonal 'Denim Turquoise'

The Nike All Conditions Gear (ACG) line is consistently innovating against the elements. The performance-oriented branch, however, has developed an affinity for revisiting its archives, reintroducing long-forgotten styles to new audiences. Over the last six months, it's retrod the ACG Rufus from 2001 in a number of original and modern ensembles.

Developed as a comfortable slip-on model capable of enduring rugged terrain, the Nike ACG Rufus had long been a victim of oblivion. Recent trends, however, have enabled its return in original form. Previous makeups have been directly borrowed from the model's inaugural run, but a newly-surfaced pair covered in 'Denim Turquoise' falls in line with the Swoosh's seasonal efforts.

The 'Geode Teal' and 'Limestone' suede makeups found on previous styles are abandoned in favor of a light blue denim across the upper. Miniature swooshes on the lateral sidewall opt for a shimmering finish that brings personality into the hiking-ready design. The robust sole unit underfoot deviates from the sky-reminiscent color scheme, favoring different shades of 'Khaki.' The aggressive tread pattern reprises its role, all while introducing a reddish-orange hue into the mix.
