Nike ACG Rufus

The Nike ACG Rufus is a slip-on shoe for camping and light hiking first released by Nike in 2001. The sole features grippy tread suitable for all kinds of terrain, and the upper is traditionally comprised of suede. After decades in the archives, the shoe’s return was teased during a SNKRS Showcase in 2023. Several colorways have since released through the course of 2024 thus far.
