Cooling workout
DESIGNED and tested to perform specifically in the great outdoors, the Nike ACG (All-conditions Gear) collection just arrived in time for summer.
Many of us might not be able to go outside right now but Nike wants us to be ready when we can, designing a collection specifically for summertime with cooling ventilation, sweat-wicking fabrics and UV protection.
The range also includes plenty of layers to keep you comfortable during all weather conditions, from the women’s NRG ACG Crop Top and NRG ACG Short to the men’s GORE-TEX Paclite Jacket, while details such as multiple pockets and reflective fabrics have been added with exploration in mind.
With the new range also partly inspired by hiking in Japan, the pieces are also lightweight and easily packed away, and can be accessorised by the Nike ACG Air Deschutz hiking sandal, which was released on the same day. Aesthetically, expect bold and bright colour blocking patterns and graphics across both the men’s and women’s range.
“Part of the Nike ACG mission is to get more people into the outdoors and appreciate the environment,” says Nike design director Nur Abbas.
“What’s really exciting about the latest ACG collection is that we have an increase in women’s offerings across the board. As we look ahead to next steps in the Nike ACG journey, we’re excited to bring more people into the beauty of nature through exploration – no matter who you are.”
The first drop of the Nike ACG summer 2020 collection was released on May 14 on nike.com and the Nike App. – AFP Relaxnews
