Launching in 1989, Nike’s ACG sub-label has since become a cult favorite for the way it blends outdoor-ready utility with a style-forward aesthetic. An acronym for “All Conditions Gear,” the line has evolved over the years and now includes hiking shoes, jackets, pants, gloves, and everything in between. That said, it’s often tough to get ahold of some of these pieces upon their initial release, with hotter items selling out rather quickly. This guide highlights the best Nike ACG gear for the outdoors that’s currently available right now.
Nike ACG Dri-FIT Lightweight Gloves

Not every pair of winter gloves has to be cumbersome and limit your mobility. For the outdoors, we like the ones currently in the ACG lineup. They’re lightweight but warm gloves built from a polyester-spandex blend, using Nike’s proprietary Dri-FIT fabric to move sweat away from your skin. Available in a trio of colorways, the gloves also have touchscreen-compatible fingertips and palms.
Nike ACG Izy Baroque Brown and Black

Moccasins with a twist, Nike’s brand-new ACG Izy just dropped in this Baroque Brown and Black colorway, providing a mature look to these impossibly comfortable shoes that you can take from town to trail. Secured with a zippered top, your feet will love the enhanced midsole cushioning for all-day wear but can go a little farther thanks to the rugged outsole.
Nike ACG Air Exploraid

Nike’s more sports-focused ranges shouldn’t have all the fun when it comes to reissues. Recently, the ACG line revived a popular ‘90s silhouette called the Air Exploraid, which is more than just a hyper-stylish pair of sneakers with a layered upper that combines mesh, suede, and textiles. The town-to-trail hikers have unique extended forefoot lacing for a more secure fit and a Max Air unit in the midsole for cushioning.
Nike ACG “Canwell Glacier” Therma-FIT ADV Windproof Jacket

Proving you can still be stylish when traversing the wilderness, Nike ACG’s “Canwell Glacier” half-zip windbreaker sports a unique pattern inspired by leaf cutter ants found on the research team’s trip to Costa Rica. Made with a Jacquard polyester knit that’s fabric dyed for longevity, the jacket also benefits from Therma-FIT ADV tech that helps regulate temperatures in colder weather.
Nike ACG “Chena Vortex” Storm-FIT ADV GORE-TEX Jacket

Part windbreaker, part rain jacket, this Chena Vortex silhouette — named after an Alaskan river — is really for adventurers who find themselves in the wettest, perhaps snowiest, conditions thanks to Storm-FIT ADV technology. Sporting an idiosyncratic look with its asymmetrical zipper and bold colorway, the polyester jacket is also built with a waterproof-breathable GORE-TEX membrane for good measure. The unique crossbody zipper also helps with ventilation during times when you don’t necessarily want direct airflow inside, while a zipper on the opposite side gives you an additional ventilation option.
