Nike ACG's Air Moc Returns in Breezy "Ocean Bliss Blue"
Ready to be rocked at the crib or on the concrete.
A comfy cult classic that fans of the outdoor-focused Nike ACG line first cozied up to in 1994, the original ACG Air Moc returned earlier this year in a stark all-black colorway — and now it’s back again in a much more breezy “Ocean Bliss Blue” makeup. Offering a two-tone palette and a build that’s equal parts house shoe and street-ready stomper, the “Ocean Bliss Blue” brings throwback style into a new decade.
Pockmarked synthetic uppers are dressed in the shoe’s titular shade and feature a laceless build, with fit adjustment provided by a toggle at the heel. This toggle is surrounded by a flecked black heel overlay, itself embroidered with an “Ocean Bliss Blue” ACG logo. Insoles are black as well and feature a swirling, abstract pattern that cleverly morphs into another ACG logo at the heel. Down below, a thin black rubber outsole with flecked detailing of its own and a much sleeker shape than the chunky ACG Moc 3.5 completes the look. The bits and pieces of color on the outsole and heel tab indicate that they may be constructed of recycled materials, but this has yet to be confirmed by Nike.
At the time of writing, the Nike ACG Air Moc has yet to receive a release date. However, it’s likely to touch down on the Nike webstore in the coming weeks.
