Nike ACG mixes efficiency, pockets and vintage design for AW19

The sub-label has found the balance between retro designs and outdoor functionality

ACG - a sub-label of Nike which simply stands for All-Conditions Gear - has unveiled its Autumn / Winter 19 collection that focuses on outdoor convenience, for unpredictable situations.

For the first time, ACG has introduced overalls into its collection, alongside a handful of handy pockets, all designed for sheer outdoor convenience when needed.

Nur Abbas, Design Director for Nike ACG, said: “We think about pockets a lot in ACG — everything is considered. How big should they be? How easy are they to access? Do you want to see the contents?”

In terms of colour pallets, it’s also clear to see the brand has taken inspiration from the early-90s, with bold prints and block colours featuring throughout.

Footwear completes the collection with ACG React Terra Gobe coming in a matte black colorway, as well as others. The rugged trainer features a black toe box, alongside an enhanced jagged outsole to improve traction.

Nike ACG collection is available now from nike.com, as well as at selected retailers worldwide.
