Nike ACG Wildwood

Posted on August 30, 2014November 28, 2014 by bythelevel

One of the cleanest silhouettes to emerge from Nike’s ACG (All Conditions Gear) range and also one of the original releases, is the ACG Wildwood which debuted back in 1989. This Autumn/Winter sees new colour ways in the versatile outdoor shoe and they have arrived at Bristol’s 5Pointz.

The shoes feature a leather and nubuck mix on the upper which sits on top of a polyurethane midsole which homes the Air-sole unit providing added cushioning and support. The shoe lives up to its ‘All Conditions’ title with the ‘sawtooth’ grip across the toe area, providing extra grip and stability when tackling harsh terrain.

The pair in focus is the ‘Cargo Khaki/Hyper Pink’ colour option which combines earthy tones on the upper with the more vibrant pink and blue detailing on the tongue, sole and swoosh.

The Nike ACG Wildwood is available now at www.5pointz.co.uk

In celebration of Black Scale’s collaboration with the estate of Hip Hop legend Pimp C, Bristol’s 5Pointz call on the talents of Detroit based illustrator Zach Thompson A.K.A Vizualzmt to create a set of images using his rough, sketchy style to reincarnate the artist wearing key pieces from the release.

The concise collection features a selection of short and long sleeved graphic based tees, as well as 2 caps paying homage to the late rapper. The designs rework classic Black Scale logos such as the Black Flag and incorporate themes associated with the rapper, from the famous polystyrene cup and ‘purple drank’, to ‘RIP Pimp C’ motifs and artwork of the man himself.

The Black Scale X PIMP C collection will be available from 5Pointz by the end of this week!
