Nike ACG LDV "Hyper Royal"

TLDR: The Nike ACG LDV “Hyper Royal” brings back a late-’70s running silhouette and prepares it for modern trails with ReactX cushioning and a grippy Waffle outsole. Bold shades of blue meet vibrant “Lemon Venom” accents – releasing on 1st October 2026 for €129.

With the ACG LDV, Nike is bringing a genuine running classic out of the archive. Originally developed for long distances, the LDV – short for “Long Distance Vector” – even made its way onto the slopes of K2 in the late ’70s. Nike now revisits this connection between running and outdoor adventure, giving the silhouette a proper home under the ACG label.

The upper uses breathable mesh and retains the slim shape of the original. “Hyper Royal” and “Old Royal” dominate the design, while “Lemon Venom” details add a bright contrast. White laces, a light-coloured tongue and the “Summit White” midsole balance the colourway. Black elements beneath the foot and the triangular ACG logo near the heel complete the outdoor-inspired look.

Nike has also given the retro runner a substantial technical upgrade. ReactX foam provides modern, comfortable cushioning, while the updated Waffle outsole features deeper traction for improved grip across varied terrain. The result sits somewhere between a lifestyle trainer and a lightweight trail shoe while remaining closely connected to its original running DNA.
