ACG Unveils Picklejus: A Big-Mountain Trail Runner With GOATEK Traction Innovation
ACG’s latest trail-running has been announced. A purpose-built long distance and demanding terrain shoe, Picklejus is ACG’s pinnacle expression of rugged mountain-running performance.
Picklejus pairs the downhill protection athletes value in highly cushioned trail shoes with the uphill efficiency and propulsion needed for long mountain efforts, making it a top pick for anyone who doesn’t want to choose between protection and performance.
This shoe represents a complete mountain-running system, including the first co-moulded, dual-density supercritical foam platform for trail running, a proprietary GOATEK outsole and a trail-tuned Flyknit upper—all developed to balance uphill efficiency, downhill protection and all-condition confidence.
Named after a near-mythical tool for runners battling muscle cramps, Picklejus was designed to help athletes sustain resilience deep into their race. As a playful nod to its namesake, the shoe’s rocker profile also resembles the shape of a pickle.
The ACG Picklejus will be available in late 2027 at Nike.com and select retail locations.
