At the time of this pairs release Nike's top-end trail shoes had gone off the boil over the years prior because they showcased the company’s flat, sticky-rubber G-Tek outsoles. These outsoles were great on dry surfaces, but hopeless on mud. Following this, they moved back to traditional lugs that worked better. The Crested Butte still wasn't the greatest trail shoe in the world – its lugs didn’t give as much traction as those of other shoes, including Nike’s own Storm Pegasus, and it flexed in the midfoot rather than the forefoot, which reduced smoothness and support. What it does have, though, was a Gore-Tex and Dri-FIT upper to keep water out – a heavy-duty alternative to the weatherproofing on the Storm Pegasus. We're a huge fan of this silhouette, it's a true embodiment of early 2000s styling. Please consider age before wearing, cannot be guaranteed.
