Just when you thought your trail sneakers couldn’t get more dramatic, Nike said, “Hold my granola.” The Nike Ava Rover has landed, and it’s got enough attitude to hike Everest in a hoodie.

Clearly gunning for Salomon’s lunch money, this rugged-yet-chic beast features a ReactX sole that’s chunkier than your protein bar. A pixelated TPU mudguard wraps around a lightweight upper, screaming ACG vibes with a hint of ISPA weirdness. It’s like Nike asked itself, “What if we combined trail shoes and cyberpunk?” And somehow, it worked.

Leading the drop is a fashion-forward collab with South Korean designer Hyein Seo. But don’t worry—Nike didn’t stop there. We’re also getting three inline colorways: a moody Black/Anthracite, a stylish Black/Blue Sage/Grey Sage, and the jaw-dropping Black/Muslin. Yes, your feet can finally match your fall jacket collection.

Nike Ava Rover Release Details

The shoes retail for $140, which is a small price to pay for becoming the most interesting person at your local REI. The “Black/Muslin” drops July 25, 2025, with the others sliding in not long after.

Whether you’re hitting a trail or just pretending to at the coffee shop, the Ava Rover brings heat. Choose your color, lace up, and prepare to be stared at (in a good way).
