From the mountains of Colorado to the medal podium in Milan, ACG is proud to unveil a new collection crafted to inspire and support Team USA athletes competing on the world’s most prestigious sporting stage.
The Team USA collection draws inspiration from the stunning landscapes surrounding Colorado Springs, home to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee. It features an outdoor-inspired design that highlights the connection between athletes and the environments that influence them.
The collection is inspired by Team USA’s hometown, drawing from the renowned Manitou Incline hike, a training area for some of the world’s top athletes, and the Garden of the Gods, a prominent symbol of strength, resilience, and the spirit of adventure.
The collection draws inspiration from the Team USA archives, with many pieces featuring the iconic American bald eagle to embody national pride and establish a distinctive visual identity.
At the core of the collection is the Therma-FIT Air Milano Jacket, an innovative development in adaptive outerwear. It integrates Nike’s advanced Air technology with cutting-edge materials and computational design to deliver customizable thermal regulation for athletes in various conditions. The versatile, lightweight jacket adjusts to individual needs, enabling wearers to manage their temperature in real time without layering changes. By inflating or deflating air within the jacket’s baffles, users can achieve warmth levels ranging from that of a hoodie to a midweight puffer.
Air Milano complements a variety of items within the Team USA collection, including tops, bottoms, base layers, and accessories that incorporate the latest material innovations from Nike and ACG, such as Nike Dri-FIT ADV and Therma-FIT ADV technology.
This includes the Therma-FIT ADV Reversible Skirt, which draws inspiration from the Colorado mountains and is designed as a versatile piece that can be worn independently, layered with other garments, or used as a ground cover.
Completing the collection is the new ACG Ultrafly, a high-performance silhouette designed for speed and agility, with a focus on trail functionality. Presented in the Safety Orange launch colorway, this flagship ACG trail shoe features industry-leading ZoomX foam, a carbon fiber FlyPlate, and a Vibram Litebase outsole. These components work in unison to deliver exceptional propulsion, a responsive ride, enhanced control, and superior grip across all terrains.
