Every season Nike ACG takes its inspiration and expertise in crafting the ultimate outdoor fashion to an extreme environment — as noted in our introduction to the brand on Stories last Autumn/Winter, when the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness served as a starting point. In the case of this latest collection for SS25, the ACG team took to the tropical conditions of Corcovado, Costa Rica, and it’s safe to say that if you were stranded on an island with only one brand of clothing on your back, you’d be wise to choose its battle-ready apparel. Even more so, if you wanted to flex your fashion sense because you’re really there to win a 00’s Survivor-style reality show.
In this latest drop we get a full range of styles designed to outlast both the high heat and humidity of summer; whether that’s deep in the tropics or camping out on the European coastline. From lightweight, weatherproof outerwear to elevated basics and colourful nylon shorts, the “All Conditions Gear” (the meaning behind the ACG acronym) has got you covered.
As for the colour palette, it spans neutral tones of college grey and exotic hues like picante orange and smokey blue. Meanwhile, we see boxy fits and two-in-one nylon pants that convert into skin-tight shorts — perfectly fusing tactical function with vibrant street style when traversing city life and nature.
Unique to this latest drop is the Orb Weaver fabric: a woven blend of quick-drying materials that offers water resistance and UV protection. Believe it or not, but UV light can travel through clothing — if you can see through it, light can surely penetrate it — and ACG’s tech weaves coverage and breathability together.
As with all of Nike ACG’s collections, the range has legitimate timeless appeal and the credibility to back it up — something that’s increasingly rare given how many brands have hopped on the gorpcore bandwagon over the years. The brand’s designs pre-date internet fashion trends, with highly coveted past styles looking just as fresh and performing to this day. Not only is this gear designed to help you survive the toughest of Mother Nature’s trials and tribulations, but those of the trend cycle too.
Inspired by nature, Nike ACG’s innovative outdoor wear blends durability, functionality, and bold design to help you tackle all terrains with confidence.
