After YEARS(!) of waiting (just like the original Ultrafly), the new ACG Ultrafly has arrived! Are you ALL-IN on Nike ACG? Are you just itching to have that big swoosh (and glaring bright orange) on your feet out on the trails?
Well, if you’re anywhere on the fence, or perhaps curious about fit and sizing, check out my first run video.
I focus on the feel straight out of the box in this 10 miler, and dig into the fit and sizing of this latest Ultrafly. Hint - it’s wide, spacious in the toebox, but not out of control like V1.
Specs are verified as well - I find an exact match on the stack height at the heel (which is a rarity).
My US 10.0 weighs in at 10.4 oz (296g), while Nike reports a spec weight of 10.1 oz (in the same US 10). Most brands fudge the spec weight a little bit.
10.4 is not light for a trail super shoe. In fact many (plated) trail “super shoe” models are hitting the sub 10 oz range in my sizing. If does feel like a “substantial” shoe underfoot.
Yes, this shoe did win on the fast track of Western States, but it also seems designed to handle “All Conditions”. They went with a dual/parallel carbon plate setup to help with handling.
There’s still quite a bit of stiffness to manage, but the fit and foot security should help with that. I get the sense that the shoe will break in a bit with more miles and hopefully allow a bit more flex underfoot.
Stay tuned for more testing and of course comparisons on the channel. Which shoe are you most interested in seeing the Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail matched up against?

Fit is perfect for me in a size Medium - that front zippered hand pocket is so handy on the run! It sits just below the panels of a running vest. Also great to keep your hands warm if you stop to have a chat on the trail!
