Nike ACG Kimono Jacket
When the snow industries are saturated with heavy and loud prints, Nike ACG’s Global Design Director Stewart Horner takes the total opposite direction and lets the simplicity of the jacket speak for itself. The purple color of the inner layer, representing nobility and high class, has a mix of rich Japanese heritage and premium flair. The iPod ‘holster pocket’ was designed for easy access, and located in a protected location under the wearer’s arm, after extensive ACG athlete feedback from the likes of Andreas Hatveit. The decision was made to design a pocket that allowed the wearer to cross over the body and underneath the arm, to access their music device rather than go straight in the side. This shelters their valuable hardware from impacts and feels more intuitive. Finally, the original 1989 triangle logo references the heritage of Nike ACG.
