Freaking awesome! I'm a huge ACG fan dating back to my college/grunge outdoor concert loving days in the early 1990s. I have a modest collection of retros now. I would LOVE to see more photos of your entire collection!

That's so cool to hear! I wasn't part of that generation that grew up with it as a new brand, but I love researching through old magazines and newspapers online and discovering how involved ACG was in things like even college music events in the 2000s. It's obviously a very different beast now but I'm pretty obsessed with the history and evolution of it overall! I actually shared the majority of my pairs in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Nike/s/gZibo2Bgta) a while back, but I also have some more detailed posts on my products on my Instagram [account](https://www.instagram.com/mrvlaz?igsh=MW9sc2pydXR0MW9oeA==), as well as co-running a more active ACG Australia page with my mate [here](https://www.instagram.com/nikeacgcommunityau?igsh=MW9zNTd0ejB2YzBjNw==). Always down for a chat about anything Nike/ACG!

[This comment reply was removed, slowly, by a reddit bot for including reddit's own url shortener to reference your previous post in my final question. Thus there might be duplicate comment reply notifications.] Wow! Amazing collections and I love your Insta pages. Def gonna follow and take my time picking through all the posts. Here's some of my favorites for now but rest assured you'll hear more from me on this topic. I often use reddit on my desktop which has unreliable RES support depending on browser version. That combined with me posting on here for about 15 years makes it easier to share Imgur links often compared to the relatively new i.reddit image hosting. Another topic for IT though. Here's a few pics and descriptions of what I currently wear in my sneaker rotation. A quick look through your stuff and one model DIDN'T catch my eye. Most likely it's because in Australia you don't often deal with Arctic level weather, and this particular shoe was the official winter boot for team USA in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. It requires some breaking in to put them on at first, and even where I live in Ohio, USA about 39 degrees North latitude we only get a few weeks of deep cold making these boots a real thrill. I don't know if they're my all time favorite ACG model, but they're near the top. Nike LunarTerra Arktos - Volt, Khaki, Mortar * https://imgur.com/3792e3D * https://imgur.com/GPp2Ke9 * https://imgur.com/grjqbqY * https://imgur.com/TGfmPZC * https://imgur.com/MLFKcZR * https://imgur.com/tK1byNI Here are some I've had for at least 15 years in rotation and never seen them in any other collection. Nike ACG Air Blazer Mid “Suede, Black” * https://imgur.com/wpOJZTH Not all of my outdoor Nike shoes are official ACG branded, but I do include some models since they are obviously ACG-like in design and function. I just picked these up a few months ago and they're indestructible. Nike React SFB Carbon * https://imgur.com/vo9PN2X When I completed a big personal project, my reward was my first pair of "custom" Nikes back when the suite Nike used was branded as Nike-iD. I'd always wanted a Boba Feet themed pair of shoes and after Nike came out with the Duckboot models of Air Force 1, often with ACG branding, I had to make Nike iD Boba Feet with Duckboot ACG soles * https://imgur.com/TGHgK6n That was also around the time Nike released annual Sneakerboot collections. For you they release in spring, for me in autumn, September. These are still a favorite of that trend; Nike Air Trainer SC High Sneakerboot “Haystack” * https://imgur.com/7aJRLOv * https://imgur.com/YHkdD4b * https://imgur.com/DVSSPTg Again, the Humara has been around a long time, some with ACG branding, others without. They're obviously trail shoes and the latest models are badass. Just got one pair of Nike Air Humara 17 in Buff Gold * https://stockx.com/nike-air-humara-buff-gold?size=10.5 And I'm awaiting a bid response for another pair of Nike Air Humara 17 in my favorite color way Dark Russet. * https://stockx.com/nike-air-humara-17-dark-russet The Dark Russet Nike Combo has a number of branded AGG models plus outdoor or Trail versions of regular shoes. I fell in love with the versatility of this combo on my pair of Nike Air Pegasus A/T Winter in Black Dark Russet. * https://stockx.com/nike-air-pegasus-at-winter-black-dark-russet?size=10.5 All of them happen to match exactly with consumer NASA branded gear which is right up my alley. Here's one of my current Favorite lists of this color treatment: * https://stockx.com/favorites/eb61a890-cdb2-4bfe-92a3-d9307a388623 Hope you don't mind the StockX links, and they all work. Nike direct links can be country specific and unreliable. What model is that big orange boot in the back of your collection image?


_gmanual_

nice. I have the [ashiko in blue](https://sneakernews.com/2009/10/03/nike-acg-ashiko-flywire-boots-fall-2009/). a fine .jp trailboot. hope there was mention of nike considered at the exhibition.


NightIINight

Those blue ones are great! The model really had some excellent colourways. Unfortunately there was no mention of the Considered line, even though I did submit my Considered Humara pair to be included initially. Definitely one of the best Nike lines but to be honest the event was definitely more hypebeast/reseller oriented so even my pairs felt out of place haha.


_gmanual_

for what it's worth, I appreciate seeing someone else with them! 🙏🏼

I’m an ACG fan and I wish there was more love for ACG. I’d love to see your collection


NightIINight

I'm with you there – it's at an interesting point now with some quality retros from the early 2000s so hopefully we see more technical stuff from upcoming seasons. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Nike/s/gZibo2Bgta) from a while back does show the majority of footwear collection, and I talk about some of my collection (including apparel and other stuff) in more detail on my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/mrvlaz?igsh=MW9sc2pydXR0MW9oeA==) page.

Orange one looks sleek.


NightIINight

Yeah they're great – unfortunately a month or so later I wore them on a hike and the soles separated, but that was to be expected at their age without constant wear haha.


Hazys

Yea wear and tear as usual.


sylensisgolden

Can we see more of this collection of yours? I’d like to have a drool


NightIINight

Haha sure thing! Most of my collection bar a few additions can be seen in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Nike/s/gZibo2Bgta) a while back, and I also have some more detailed writeups on my Instagram [account](https://www.instagram.com/mrvlaz?igsh=MW9sc2pydXR0MW9oeA==). Cheers!
