Hands down, Nike has dominated sportswear for 2017. From their recent collaboration with Virgil Abloh for Off-White and the re-releases of their Air Max 95s and re-introduction of the Cortez, the brand’s been consistently making the headlines of fashion sites, endorsed by social media influencers across platforms and seen on style icons on the streets all over. While Nike’s more ubiquitous for their sneakers than apparel, their more exclusive label NikeLab’s been experimenting with various technology, and in its latest endeavour has launched more pieces from its ACG (or “All Conditions Clothing”), a selection of activewear suited for transitioning between different temperatures already knocking our socks off (and still able to keep us toasty!).
Women’s 3-in-1 System Coat, $965
The key piece for the latest drop is this 3-in-1 System Coat, highlighting the ethos and distinctive quality of the ACG collection. The multi-layered outerwear piece comes in mens and womens, featuring a sturdy shell able to insulate blistering climates but transformable into a more casual lined mint windbreaker vibrant and personality-indicative.
Men’s Fleece Hoodie, $339
This is another prime example of functional design. On the outlook this mint hoodie resembles another cool fit we’d rep sometime around now when it’s futile second-guessing the weather. But on closer inspection, it’s apparent the hood doubles up as a barrier between our faces and the biting cold, not without a see-through mesh visor for us to still properly navigate our route to and from Points A and B.
Tech Woven Women’s Trousers, $275
We love getting updates of our favourite celebrities’ personal lives through paparazzi shots of them getting Starbucks or leaving the gym, and the PR-savvy ones always seem to be dressed in some effortlessly chic pant that both shape the lower body yet seem incredibly comfortable sliding into. This is our answer to that, from zip cuffs to a stretchy waistline, we’re getting the aesthetic of formalwear with the technology of sportswear, great for long hours or high-intensity workouts.
The latest collection for NikeLab’s ACG launches December 7 in North America, December 9 in Europe, December 15 in Japan and December 21 in China and online.
