What is Nike ACG?
In essence, ACG – All Conditions Gear for those not in the know – is the outdoor vertebrae of the Nike backbone. The iconic sub-label launched back in 1989, and has been an elemental sweet spot for explorers and the fashion-conscious alike ever since.
ACG Footwear
Praised for its versatility, ACG’s footwear catalogue covers everything from exploratory mules to harsh-terrain ready hiker boots, with a middle-ground that covers innovative, forward-thinking models – all of which having that distinct Nike edge about them. Familiarise yourself with the latest punchy-coloured silhouette offerings from Nike ACG’s archival footwear locker below, but don’t ignore its contemporary creations, either – there’s some absolute gems.
ACG Exploraid
One of ACG’s earlier trail-minded models, the Nike ACG Air Exploraid in ‘Hyper Royal’ and ‘Safety Orange’ is a retro-colour blocked staple of the premillennial era, complete with a textile-wrapped midsole and Nike Air cushioning. Tidy.
ACG Mountain Fly 2
The Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 comes in a little bit hedgier, again engineered for the trails, but with definitive urban capabilities. From its netted textile upper to its mountain-bike tyre outsole treading, this one is in clear contention as to being your next everyday beater.
ACG Watercat+
A visionary concept by ACG, the Watercat+ hosts a braided cord upper – a look that’s synonymous with the brand’s woven-inspired track record, a concept that ACG owns well.
ACG Apparel
ACG is known for its field-proven apparel which is as impressive technically as it is aesthetically. Testing its gear as well as naming some of it after environments that make up the topography of the real world, you’re always in safe hands with ACG.
Everything that Nike ACG engineers is subject to a thorough process. Before the outdoor subdivision even starts to think about thinking about designing something, ACG ventures out in the wild and seeks inspiration from Mother Nature herself. This way, the brand can tailor and coin its silhouettes in line with location-based geography which reflects its real world usage.
ACG ‘Reservoir Goat’ Shorts
A game-changer for the sunnier months, Nike ACG’s ‘Reservoir Goat’ Shorts are a water-repellent nylon composition with an all-over print. The elasticated waistband adds an element of customisability, while the overall fit is relaxed, and features ACG embroidery atop the left thigh.
ACG Lungs T-Shirt
Employing triangular lung-shaped embroidery at the front along with a well-defined Swoosh, the Nike ACG Lungs T-Shirt opts for calm colour blocking and a roomy, through-the-shoulders fit. Take note: this one’s a brand staple, and never stays in stock too long.Â
ACG ‘Hike Snacks’ T-Shirt
ACG are known to keep it playful, too, nicely exampled here with its ‘Hike Snacks’ T-Shirt, a heavyweight layer that’s ideal for navigating urban cityscapes or hiking through trails.
