This rugged, yet vibrant, @peterfoggcreation combines the durability, support and protection of hiking boots with the comfort, lightness and technical design more commonly found in a late ‘90s performance runner.
The Nike Zoom Terra Sertig upon its release at the end of 1997 quickly became desired for its technical capabilities and as alternative for those looking to draw eyes to their of choice of footwear. The original ‘Taxi’ colourway appeared not just on the trails but also on the streets made evident by ‘The Chef’ Raekwon donning a pair for that excellent and heavily referenced Wu-Tang shoot. This shoe has credentials!

The Nike Zoom Terra Sertig is commonly misconstrued as part of the ACG line, which isn’t the case. That may sound odd, from a glance it seems to share more than a little ACG DNA but Terra was a separate off-road running line that started in the early ‘80s.
While the Zoom Terra Sertig may seem a curious beast when compared to other iconic sneakers from the ‘90s, the model’s experimental hybridisation of conventionally polar performance prioritisation has solidified its enduring legacy to this day.
