Nike ACG has introduced the Picklejus, a new trail running shoe engineered for long-distance, big-mountain racing and ultra-distance efforts exceeding 100 miles. 

Developed through the Nike Sport Research Lab, the footwear features a dual-density ZoomX platform utilizing a co-molded supercritical foam system. This design combines a soft core for impact protection with a firmer perimeter ring for stability. Technical specifications include a proprietary GOATEK traction platform, which aims to provide a 45 percent increase in wet traction and 25 percent greater abrasion resistance compared to previous models.

The shoe is constructed with a trail-tuned Flyknit upper using hydrophobic yarns, adjustable containment cables, and a gaiter-inspired cuff to repel water and debris. The product is expected to be available in late 2027.
