The Nike ACG Izy Is Back, Now Fresh and Frosty in “Photon Dust”

Nike’s ongoing wave of ACG retro releases has struck a chord with fans of the brand’s outdoor inspired lineup. Models like the Torre, Rufus, and Izy not only tap into nostalgia but also enhance Nike’s appeal within the growing “gorpcore” fashion trend.

The ACG Izy was the last of these three to make its comeback, debuting in three earthy brown tones since its Holiday 2024 reintroduction. Now, Nike is stepping beyond neutral palettes with the unveiling of a fresh “Photon Dust” colourway for Spring/Summer 2025, showcased here through official images.

The moccasin style upper is wrapped entirely in soft “Photon Dust” suede, while accents of “Smoke Grey” and “Anthracite” bring contrast to the lining and midsole; borrowed from the ACG Rufus. The retro “Hot Curry” ACG logo makes its mark on the heel of the outsole, while the insoles feature vintage “All Conditions Gear” branding for an extra nostalgic touch.

Originally designed for camping and light hiking, the ACG Izy is now being positioned as an everyday essential for quick trips outside the house. Thanks to its comfortable build and convenient zippered enclosure, it’s as practical as it is stylish.

The Nike ACG Izy in “Photon Dust” is dropping in Spring/Summer 2025 on Nike SNKRS and at select retailers for around £120. Check out the official images below and decide if this lightweight, on trend silhouette deserves a spot in your rotation.
