Nike's New Super Shoe-Inspired Trainer Is Shockingly Affordable

As its name suggests, the new Rival Fly 4 shoe marks the fourth generation in Nike's Rival Fly series — a hybrid line that falls in-between an everyday trainer and PR-chasing racer.

But even if the Rival Fly has been around the block before, this latest version is the first to introduce a plate nestled in the midsole — tech popularized with Nike's original Vaporfly line.

The plate is visible through a cutout in the midsole.Nike

Although the plate in question here is made from plastic instead of carbon fiber, Nike says it "offers faster, more responsive transitions" than the plateless version of the shoe.

It's also not uncommon for so-called "super trainers" to feature mixed materials for reasons that include durability and price. Nonetheless, even shoes equipped with plastic plates traditionally sit closer to the $200, or even $300, mark.

Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low Releasing This Year - Complex

Nike is preparing the release of two sequels to its popular ACG Mountain Fly sneakers that debuted in 2020. On the way are the ACG Mountain Fly 2 Mid, which leaked in October, and the ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low, a shoe that appears in an internal Nike document showing the brand's upcoming releases that was viewed by Complex.

Nike did not respond to a request for comment on the upcoming ACG sneaker and generally does not issue any info around unreleased shoes ahead of their planned official announcement.

The ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low is part of Nike's Summer 2023 line. In the brand document viewed by Complex, the shoe is listed as an April release, but its release date could be pushed back as sneaker companies have had a difficult time delivering product on schedule in the past two years. Among its first colorways are the white/black pair shown here, a "Neutral Olive," and a "Laser Orange."

The ACG Mountain Fly Low will retail at $150 and will be available in sizes ranging from 3.5 to 15.

Nike released the first ACG Mountain Fly in November 2020. The shoe used a carbon fiber plate and React foam cushioning in the midsole, a combination borrowed from Nike's Next% line of running sneakers. The Low version was named one of the best new sneakers of 2021 by Complex.
