The latest NikeLab ACG collection is released today, and this short film takes us behind the scenes with Jarrett Reynolds and Errolson Hugh as they highlight the principles behind the line, the challenges they've faced along the way, and the importance of achieving a balance between functionality and aesthetics. It's one of Nike's most interesting projects, with considerable depth and quality at its core.

Nike's relaunch of the ACG collection has been much anticipated, but I was a little skeptical when I first heard the news. It would have been easy to simply reproduce old styles and colourways in updated fabrics. However, by enlisting Errolson Hugh they've been able to push the collection forwards. The latest rendition of ACG appears to be an exciting step in the right direction, finding a balance between style and functionality which was always at the brand's core. The footwear is well done, but it's the outerwear and tops that are the most enticing.

Gary Warnett's first post on Nike's ACG and Hiking divisions came last November, and he's just added a follow-up. Written in typically insightful fashion, both instalments are supported by some great imagery and well worth reading whether you consider yourself a fan of these cult sub-brands or not.
