The Complete Colab History of ACRONYM x Nike
If there’s a person deserving of praise for their contribution to Nike’s collaborative evolution, it’s co-founder Errolson Hugh. The stoic Canadian designer joined forces with the Swoosh in 2014 to reinvent under , uniting utilitarian functionality with neo-futuristic sophistication, simultaneously transforming ACG apparel into some of the most-hyped items to wear the Swoosh.
While Errolson would simply be the enigmatic puppet master pulling the strings at ACG – until that relationship terminated in 2018 – he would also be given the chance to thrust his name out into the sneaker world through a series of official ACRONYM x Nike colabs, starting in 2015. Let’s take a look back at the complete history of ACRONYM x Nike collaborations.
Friends and Family/Unreleased
The ACRONYM x Nike collaborative legacy has left a serious mark on the sneakersphere as we know it. Like all good sneaker legacies, there’s almost always a slew of Friends and Family drops, plus some tasty unreleased goodies, left behind. It goes way back to 2009 with the ‘Blunk’, a one-of-one combination of the Blazer and Dunk created for Hugh. Also, take a look above at the unreleased Air Presto Mid colourway that surfaced in the Fall/Winter 2018 lookbook and the chromed-out Air VaporMax.
