Nike ACG Unveils Spring 2021 “Crater Lake” Collection
Nike is gearing up to release its ACG Spring 2021 collection inspired by the mysterious beauty of Crater Lake, Oregon, not too far from the brand’s headquarters in Beaverton.
ACG, or All Conditions Gear, is designed to withstand the elements while showcasing the style we’ve all come to love from Nike. Staying true to the concept and comfort of layering, the capsule features jackets, tees, cargo pants and hoodies. A few of the pieces grant homage to various wilderness sites in the area that boast an in-depth look at nature.

The color palette is also said to be inspired by the bluish hues of Crater Lake and the earthy terrains of Wizard Island.
