Nike's Ultra Shoe Arrives in Late 2027
The ACG Picklejus was unveiled at UTMB with a new outsole compound and a release window over a year out.
Nike ACG picked UTMB week in Chamonix to show the Picklejus, a big-mountain trail runner built through the Nike Sport Research Lab for races past 100 miles. Dual-density co-molded ZoomX underfoot, a trail-tuned Flyknit upper, and a new proprietary traction platform called GOATEK.
Announced in Chamonix in 2026. On sale in late 2027.
Brands preview shoes at UTMB every year. A launch window this far out is unusual even by the sport's stretching standards, which makes the Picklejus less a product than a promise. Fifteen months to think about it.
