The latest Nike ACG re-launch might be the Beaverton sub-brand’s most promising to date, headlined by dope activations, innovative gear and apparel, and footwear spanning both new and retro territory. While the new ACG Ultrafly carries Nike’s outdoor division into the future, the ACG LDV proves it hasn’t forgotten its past, now continuing its rollout with two new colorways.
The Nike ACG LDV (Long Distance Vector) launched in the 1970s as a long-distance running shoe, laying the foundation for ACG after Nike incorporated feedback from Rick Ridgeway and John Roskelley. The upper shares similarities with the original Nike Tailwind from 1978, while the midsole adds cushioning and a more rugged traction setup based off Nike’s iconic waffle sole.
Following a colorful duo from April, two new colorways are set to keep the rollout going: “Varsity Red/Wolf Grey” and “Wolf Grey/Navy.” Both are expected in the coming months for $130 in men’s sizes. See official images below if you’re considering copping.
