OK. The original Nike Magma was their first true hiking boot, a rugged, lug-soled creation of rough suede built to go anywhere. It's since been revived by Nike Sportswear in original form and decidedly new colors. Now there's this smooth nubuck AC (autoclave) version, and we don't understand it at all. For starters, the original sole wasn't all that tech to begin with. And seeing that Nike's gone through an awful lot of trouble to ACG the Blazer, what's with going the other way? See you at the crossroads. Oh well, at least it's just a Quickstrike. More pics follow.
