Editor’s Notes: Nike has placed a focus on sustainability for its Holiday 2020 ACG collection. Specifically, 85 percent of the apparel from the assortment contains more than 90 percent recycled content, as the company continues to move toward zero carbon and zero waste to protect the environment.
“That balance between performance and sustainability is key to Nike ACG,” said Nur Abbas, Nike Design Director, ACG Apparel. “Sustainability was our first filter for materials used in this collection, but we didn’t compromise the identity of ACG style and attitude; wearers can continue to be protected from the elements when exploring awe-inspiring nature, or even wear the apparel beyond a weekend in the outdoors.”
Nike ACG Holiday 2020 includes two sneakers and a range of apparel. Drawing inspiration from Smith Rock, a volcanic structure located in Oregon, a few hours from Nike’s headquarters, the collection is made to act as a versatile layering system during the colder months. Subsequently, each piece is named after a Smith Rock trail, while the area’s rock shadings have influenced the graphic direction.
Leading the footwear assortment is the all-new Mountain Fly GORE-TEX. Designed to handle rocky conditions, the shoe is offered in two colorways with terrain-dyed hues and accents. The pre-existing Air Nasu GORE-TEX then arrives in a new winter colorway.
Included in Nike ACG’s Holiday 2020 apparel collection are the waterproof and windproof Misery Ridge GORE-TEX Jacket for men and women, an insulated and packable puffer jacket, a new fleece made from 100 percent recycled materials, a vest, and Polartec crewneck and pants.
Both the footwear and apparel release on November 12, as the apparel will be available on nike.com and the Nike app, while the Mountain Fly GORE-TEX launches through Nike SNKRS, and the Air Nasu GORE-TEX through nike.com and the Nike app.
