Nike ACG Revives Coveted Balaclava Fleece

Nike ACG’s balaclava fleece is one of the more sought after items to sprout from the outdoor-oriented sub-division and after coming out of hibernation back in late 2022 courtesy of a collaboration with Supreme, the coveted full-faced fleece was nowhere to be found, until now.

Nike first released the now infamous design back in the late 90’s and in the following years that saw outdoor garb rise to the top of the trends list, original examples have not only shot up in price on the aftermarket, but have also become increasingly difficult to find in solid condition.

At long last, Nike ACG is reviving the style for Spring ‘24, kicking things off with a light/ bone & khaki colourway complete with all the trimming required of a worthy all-conditions companion.

The design is a true-to-form reproduction of the original from 1998, cut to a slightly looser fit that promotes freedom of movement for any outdoor escapades, bolstered by elastic cuffs, hem and hood openings, plus panelling on abrasion-sensitive areas, finished with the ACG lungs logo to the centre chest.

The Nike ACG Balaclava fleece is currently only available in the Asian market, with a worldwide release set to arrive imminently.
