love the video Antwon, amazing as always. i was wondering would you ever make a video about maintaining your techwear collection, like how to wash and keep your goretex clean, things like that. I think a lot of people would be interested in that topic.
Thanks so much! There's a really good video on the official Arc'teryx channel about maintaining Gore-tex (and outerwear generally) which I tend to direct people to as it covers all the important stuff
Trench was amazing! I think it was all very cyberpunk and closer to the dystopian aesthetic that we novices know and love. Challenge, wear all Nike ACG, one practical and one overblown fit.
This video I’ve been looking for years! With all those details and references between collections. NikeLab ACG is still interesting because of being full of those details. Huugely appreciated🙏
Nike was on fire when the NikeLab ACG was around, should’ve kept Errolson. But similar to all great designers that worked with Nike, they choose not to keep them lol
Yeah totally, I'm not sure why it was brought to an end (likely a pre-agreed number of collections) but I'd love to see more collabs between the two. The shoes are good but so few and far between.
7:26 interesting note about this is that their insulated jackets from FW18 also have the zip track and sleeve poppers. So I can use my patterned insulated bomber with the downfill parka for _double extra_ warmth. Absolutely loving these pickups.
yessss been waiting for this video since you shared these pieces over on your instagram! really need to get my hands on an acg trenchcoat, i just love the way it looks!
Some of the articulate designs used in the arm and underarm area for ease of movement can be seen in the ESC line from 2020 and 2021 releases. Glad Nike learned from the ACG Lab days.
Olive drab will back in full force in 2022, Love the bomber. Not so much for the T shirt because the huge print in the back tend to overheat my back. The jacket is awesome.
The Nike Lab ACG is my favorite so far I've picked up 2 of the more recent acg jackets from last season which reminds me of the old Alpine jacket. And got a parka as well for the heavy winter.
i got the black poncho with yellow vest and i absolutely love it. it’s my first “real” techwear thing that i got. i’d love to see you do some kind of review for that.
The Metamorphosis and Crewneck are both amazing, two of my favorite NLACG pieces I own. Still looking for a black Meta in M and the crewneck in black (for a stealy price 😁) WTB! Great haul congrats! These pieces are becoming real archive collectibles IMO
You can never have too many gjackets, that's what I always say! Also Ive been thinking of picking up that trench, it looks so much better here than in their promo pics
I think it depends, if you go for the overall "Techwear" look its easy, but it alone adds so much techvibes its hard to go for a more none techwear look
so happy to have this jacket for half of the retail price and the secondary jacket that you can zip on it for a warmer version. I'm chasing this acg era so hard in default to can afford Acronym ^^'
Red Leicester mini cheddars are the best. And if you’re looking to part ways with that grey sweatshirt I’d be happy to give it a home. Also worth mentioning how the Nikelab ACG sizing is more true to normal sizes, unlike the current GORP-style ACG gear that is 1-2 sizes larger than normal
Yes finally someone who recognises their greatness 😎 not sure what I'll do with the sweaters for now, but thanks! Good point! More slim/athletic sizing for sure
11:28 I just got that jacket Brand New for 340 2 years ago. I can't believe it actually retailed for 600 something. I originally thought the scarf was just to cover your mouth, but it's actually meant for cold weather. And, since I use it mostly for rainy days, I took it off and have it stored. This was the one H&M ripped off for their attempt at techwear, except theirs didn't break the bank.
Used to see hella ACG jackets at the clearance store in my city for well over half off retail. Seeing the prices on some of those jackets now is sickening 😂
Thanks so much! I've covered a lot of my sneakers in individual review videos, but I've got rather a few over the years so would be a fun round-up to do for sure
Neither of them are insulated at all so I wouldn't rely on either for warmth just by themselves. However the J16 uses Gore-Tex Pro which is a 3L membrane VS what I think is Paclite on the trench so probably keeps heat in a touch better as the face fabric is heftier
@@ThisIsAntwon Hmmm Well I actually live in a warm weather climate. Puerto Rico to be exact. Its my first year in and right now it's raining it rains every other day it seems but never goes below 70 degrees at night... So the less warmth, the better in my case. I really want to get an Acronym piece so I may splurge and pic up the black or alpha green J16 in a month or two.
@@ThisIsAntwon One more question about the J16 and Gore-Tex. How resilient is it to scuffs? Im wondering if I should play it safe and get the black or is Gore-Tex pro that scuff resistant to where I could get the alpha green one? Thanks.
I wish I would've gotten into teechwear earlier :/ I was only around for the last season of the Nikelab ACG season and managed to grab the deploy cargos in both black and olive. I'm so sad that I legit missed everything else D: and those resell prices ain't looking to appealing lol
Occasionally you still get decent deals popping up online, worth keeping an eye out on all the major selling platforms in case you see anything nice! Glad you were still able to pick something up before the end though
I have to bring up the fact that the funnel hood made me think of Kenny from the South Park cartoon, since he wears his hoodie in this fashion. It's techwear Kenny. Kenny (from South Park); the original airpod cosplayer (in orange, but no mesh). Am I the only one who noticed that? Also, disclaimer: I am aware this is a 1 year old video.
Works great for winter as it's pretty wind/water resistant. It is just a shell though so you'd need an insulated midlayer for warmth (e.g. in the video I'm wearing an Arc'teryx Atom AR underneath)
Angela Merkel eh? So it was you all along! I know it's a bit budget for you, but have you come across Nike Air Jordan Whynot?Zer0.3 trainers at all? I got some end of line ones today at a discount and they seem pretty good so far, and have a nice chunky futuristic vibe. Silly name though.
Regarding the line : I think it really is a shame that the 3-letters branding on most items is so plain, as opposed to the interesting look of the actual ACG logo or the bolder color scheme of the snowjacket. Besides that some of the looks are interesting indeed. I think the tees and sweater would look a lot better with a tighter fit thouh - this wouldn't take long to alter with a sewing machine - although suppose that most people would rather keep these items unaltered ...
If I want to get peices like this we're is my best bet so I don't get scammed can anyone tell me I'm kinda new to this I just want one good peice that I can rock for a while
I watch your videos with mainly pure envy🤣Can I ask. Before you had an income stream from YT, how did you afford techwear pieces? Just saving and buying the occasional one or two? As someone slightly older with bills coming out of my ears, I find it hard to justify the cost of each piece, nevermind full outfits
Hah! Pretty much yes, fashion was my main hobby for a long time so that was where a lot of my disposable income went. I also didn't buy the really expensive stuff for years, and got quite a few things on sale. I've also been fortunate that even when the channel was relatively small some brands were still happy to support me and send clothing to review which made a massive difference
Nice video Angela Merkel, quite confused with others calling you Antwon. Clearly heard you introducing yourself. Must be me I guess🥸. Great content nonetheless. Keep it up! Peace ✌🏽
Antwon, you had to wait to drop this video.. I've been hunting those and you vid will only raise the prices..looking for the trench coat and the blazer. lol... so anyone want to bless me.. i have legal tender
I'd be surprised if people start rushing out to grab these enough to affect prices! Great choice on the blazer though, those are pretty hard to come by these days but super unique VS the other items in the collection. Would love to get hold of one at some point
Its hard to watch these when you’re out here barely even able to survive or buy a new pair of mittens for the new ski season, and this dudes out here not even using all this brand new gear for much more than a light hike…
I miss this level of ACG. When it was exclusive and purposeful. Losing Errolson definitely impacted the line.
love the video Antwon, amazing as always. i was wondering would you ever make a video about maintaining your techwear collection, like how to wash and keep your goretex clean, things like that. I think a lot of people would be interested in that topic.

What size was the nike lab ACG trench coat? I just bought the olive green one in XL and it's huge I really, REALLY wish I bought a large instead..
Trench was amazing! I think it was all very cyberpunk and closer to the dystopian aesthetic that we novices know and love. Challenge, wear all Nike ACG, one practical and one overblown fit.
Ooh I like that! Lots of ways to style all this stuff so it's definitely doable, I need some more pants though as I got rid of my old ACG cargos 🤦♂️
@@ThisIsAntwon we love any reason to get more ACG.
Like Adele releasing another album and reinventing herself, Ant always feels fresh, every upload.
“Maximum AirPod cosplay mode” had me dying bro XD the acg funnel hoodie is perfect if you’re trying to get emo bellsprout vibes tho haha
hahaha just out here trying to evolve into Victeebel

a lot of the overlooked nikelab pieces are the most wearable and holding up now looks wise. The shirt jackets are a great example.
Agreed!
Im from D.C and the Nike ACG boot was a MUST like NY with Timberlands. Super fire pick-ups Antwon
Some of the articulate designs used in the arm and underarm area for ease of movement can be seen in the ESC line from 2020 and 2021 releases. Glad Nike learned from the ACG Lab days.
Love the olive ACG jacket👌🏼
Olive drab will back in full force in 2022, Love the bomber. Not so much for the T shirt because the huge print in the back tend to overheat my back. The jacket is awesome.
I have a pair of the deploy cargo pants. It’s really fun to equip more pockets
Loving the video. Glad you are making use of these gems!
NikeLab ACG Gore-tex jacket will always be #1 on my wishlist

Definitely hold on to that piece bro

@@IAMFRESH definitely will. paired with VaporMax it's a clean fit
@@NoAlias_ thats true
OMG I was having a conversation with my friend about Nike ACG just a week ago and here you are. You are a mind reader.
I need that bomber. I NEED IT! 😤
I love these types of unboxings you make!
Thanks!
The trench coat helped me survive the northen winter one year ago, never regret buying it
Very nice, I imagine the collar would protect your face perfectly 👌
Yeah it feels like i'm wearing a neck gaitor and hood at the same time, veri cozy
Bought the trench back then, one of my first tech piece actually. I was amazed discovering new features week after week. Still wear it to this day!
Bro thats a keeper! Definitely hang on to it!
ACG Antwon Cyberpunk Guy? Really love that trench, and the detail on the sweatshirts. Ah memories.
the good ol' days 😭
so happy to have this jacket for half of the retail price and the secondary jacket that you can zip on it for a warmer version. I'm chasing this acg era so hard in default to can afford Acronym ^^'
Nice pickup! Makes a good alternative to Acronym for sure since it's so much more affordable
Happy Antwon smiling with all that ACG cloths.
😂mfw every time Ant calls snaps "poppers".

That trench coat is still one of my favorite in my closet
Will you do a vid on Nike MMW newest jacket?
So what's the difference between the current acg releases and these ones? Are ACG and nikelab ACG different things?
Very interesting piece for sure, I didn't know couple of the piece before. Anyway, can you uncover Vollebak? It's UK based outdoor brand too

Nice pickup! Yes, covering your face is good from a wind/cold protection perspective as you lose a lot of heat through your face and neck
Love the acg trench! What size did you get ? I am thinking of getting one but don’t know what size I should get, I’m 5’10 170 lbs
I just ordered a large and I'm 5'11 170 so I'll let you know lol
that trench coat is so gorgeous oh my god
This video was long due a must documentary. Nike ACG was ahead of its time. ACG Ahead of Classic Garments. 😁
Used to see hella ACG jackets at the clearance store in my city for well over half off retail. Seeing the prices on some of those jackets now is sickening 😂
you've gotta do a shoe collection vid, sry if you already have, I'm pretty new to you're channel, but i love the content
Thanks so much! I've covered a lot of my sneakers in individual review videos, but I've got rather a few over the years so would be a fun round-up to do for sure
Love your acg vids...... My all time favorite gear ever.........
what size was the trench in the vid? I’m 5’9 wondering if a large would be too big?
ACG was top 3 lines from nike for me
Thank you Toan
The shoulder straps for the green jacket was kinda odd
Sweet pickup. Enjoyed it 👍
Thanks!
Where to buy just classic jackets right now?
Hi, what's the name of the jacket at 11.30 pls ? I want to buy one !!!
Antwon! Which is warmer Nikelab ACG trench or Acronyms J16-GT? I think the J16 has vents, iirc.
Neither of them are insulated at all so I wouldn't rely on either for warmth just by themselves. However the J16 uses Gore-Tex Pro which is a 3L membrane VS what I think is Paclite on the trench so probably keeps heat in a touch better as the face fabric is heftier

Where is that necklace from ??
Antwon, I've been trying to find good black and white t shirts for my wardrobe. Preferably v necks. Got any suggestions?
I've not worn v-necks for years but used to wear Uniqlo ones a lot - they're always good for basics
Nikelab ACG is Nike's best line in my humble opinion.
I still have my A14 beanies from the final drop.
Should have bought six instead of two.
Unworn ones are probably worth a fair bit now. If only we knew!
lolol I feel you on that one
You forgot to mention that Errolson Hugh used to head this division that’s why many pieces are Acronym lite. LOL
I wish I would've gotten into teechwear earlier :/ I was only around for the last season of the Nikelab ACG season and managed to grab the deploy cargos in both black and olive. I'm so sad that I legit missed everything else D: and those resell prices ain't looking to appealing lol

So what’s the sizing like ?
Th persona 5 background music though!
ultimate vibe music
that bomber jacket is coded as 177013
Ant’s
Cool
Gear
Persona 5 music playing almost indistinctly in the background. I didn't know we had a fan on our hands.
I might hire the whole team from ACG

Is this jacket good enough for winter?
