    Nike ACG is Nike’s outdoor product line, with ACG meaning “All Conditions Gear.” It offers footwear, apparel, and accessories designed for trails, hiking, and travel in adverse weather. Unlike lines such as Nike Running and Nike Training, which focus primarily on paved roads or indoor sports, it is intended for use in natural environments and on uneven terrain, with an emphasis on grip, water resistance, insulation, and storage capacity. It belongs to the same product lineage as ACG as a dedicated brand reintroduced in 2026, and is positioned to serve the outdoor sector through products and category labels bearing the Nike name.
