NikeLab’s New ACG Line Proves Functionality Is All In Its DNA

Comprising Nike’s latest innovations, the ACG collection, designed to adapt, will be available to order in December 2017. Showcasing Nike’s interaction and collaborations with the brightest innovators in sport, design and culture, NikeLab sparks discovery through unique collections and limited editions of Nike’s latest performance and sport style innovations.

Designed to compliment all-conditions, ACG focus is on urban utility. Their new fashion tech line is all about protecting both women and men as they move about the city. Previous functional favourites include GORE-TEX® parkas and flight jackets, as well as defined new trouser silhouettes. Made to move, NikeLab ACG delivers a modular apparel system that means that ACG adapt can to changing conditions and protect against the elements thanks to the removable liners, water-repellent fabrics and reflective graphics. “My ultimate expectation for ACG garments is to provide the highest and best support in everyday situations,” said Johanna Schneider, a Berlin-based designer who works with Nike designing a modular capsule collection that brags ultimate versatility.

Some of our favourite picks include the NikeLab ACG Women’s Gilet,  a sleek, seasonal 3-layer, woven-fabric body with a storable hood that will give the wearer water-repellent protection with plenty of attitudes. Another firm favourite is the NikeLab ACG 3-in-1 System Women’s Coat. It features two jackets in one and offers three ways to insulate against severe winter conditions. The outer 3-layer Gore-Tex ® shell provides wind-and-water protection, plus interior carrying straps for off-shoulder wearing. The detachable, internal bomber jacket lining is Primaloft-insulated and designed to be worn on its own or with the outer shell. “While the shell is a still, solid colour when you take it off, you reveal the energy that’s living inside of you through the mint liner,” says Schneider.
