The Nike x Acronym Clothing is Pretty Good, Actually ｜ Techwear Review

Being the ultimate Acronym white knight and defending the recently-launched Nike x Acronym clothing collection, which has had some mixed reception overall. I picked up the woven track jacket and pants in the 'multi' colourway so we can investigate what makes them interesting, and some functionality you might've missed.
Also find out if they're able to increase my martial arts skills (solid no)

I wish someone would defend me the way Antwon defends acronym. I thought this collab still represents both parties, but in a different way than previously, which seemed hard to do after ACG, so I'm impressed!

Video suggestion : Technical clothing care! Everything from washing to DWR refreshing to how to handle different fabrics like Stotz Etaproof etc. Very important when you're dropping $1000 on a loosely knitted cardigan!

[Shark-Fist]

Cool to hear your thoughts! Not gonna lie, I was half expecting to see you kick your TV over during some of those action shots lol

[AggaCityGang]

Yeah, got this one too, even tho I wasnt planning to, but it's just a really fun and comfy spring jacket imo

[Pat-py]

honestly I really like the jacket but 300 euros for what essentially is a pimped up nike nylon track jacket (with mostly the same materials of the nike mainline jackets) is a little steep

[drakejaymes]

Saw this on the Nike app the other day and was on the fence about it. Now after watching this awesome review, I’m really considering dropping some dosh on the tracksuit! Cheers mate.

Just got the Black woven jacket and i love it!
Thanks for explaining the quick release zip. Interesting thoughts - really enjoyed the overview on the techwear scene, where a lot of “cheaper” brands tend to copy features. This instead of developing new features and solving a problem in a new and innovative way. Great video🙌

I was torn between getting a pair of blazers and the track pants or the track suit top. In the end I chose shoes and pants, and I am pretty happy with them. I took not of some sizing advice Errolson Hugh out on his Instagram and actually sizes up to get a P30-esque silhouette. I was a bit concerned I would ha e to constantly adjust them all the time to stop them from slipping down but they tie-cord works pretty well. I do keep looking at the jacket though... It's available a few places and may pick one up in a month or so if they are still available. I think you re right the woven jacket is the standout piece. I suppose o chose getting two pieces over getting the single best piece.

I’m glad you made this video. If Acronym is the Kakashi/Tech Ninja Core, NikeLab ACG the happy medium, then this Acronym x Nike Collab is the Rock Lee/Might Guy edition so you have to look at it from that perspective and I love it

Great review as usual. Love my F&F jacket and the multi but I may just have to get the 3rd cw. And I do agree would love input on the Nike therma-fit full suit before I grab

Fantastic review! Tbh out of all the acronym clothing pieces, I think this track jacket is the one I've seen people buying the most. The thing I've seen the least of online is definitely the beige tracksuit set. I dont think ive seen anyone styling that one yet so would be nice to get a better look at it since it feels so rare 🤔

This one will be a banger at the 22’s nights in 10-15 years. It’s like LA Gear on a speedball. Toss on the hammer pants and you’ve got yourself the outfit of a first or second level boss in an arcade beat em up

I snagged the jacket in black, sized down to L and I like the snug fit (though I only JUST have enough sleeve) and the black pants also sized down in black L, once again there's only enough leg length, I would have preferred another couple cm of stack. Like them both, but the pants are a little 'plain', not a lot of Tech or Acronym stylings here. The jacket is a lot more inspiring, I find the slim-fitting matched with some big dropcrotch-type trous make a good look with some high-tops.

lol mentioning the 'dazzle camo' at 3:22 - I picked up the SUPERDRY 'Ultimate Rescue Jacket' in all-over Dazzle last week - its currently half-off in their sale and I couldn't resist something so overbearing :)

Glad the quality is good. I think it looks terrible aesthetically so I bought none of it, but style is subjective and a personal choice. Overall I love acronym and Nike collabs and hope it keeps happening. This drop wasn’t for me. Next one might be.

[bjamofficial]

100% agree on the point of the colab to be something new. As a fan of those 80s/90s martial arts films and the football uniform style used in them, this was a great collection for me. I am a bit envious of that jacket sling tbh, but I love the black knit track top mixed with the white martial arts pants, and I am gonna prove you wrong about how much wear I get out of those pants. It's a collection that speaks for itself, it's neither ACR nor Nike, but something unique.

[smithlane]

I am glad you did a video on these! I actually thought the Stadium Jersey was the most unique piece so I snagged it before I’m sure it goes for almost double on the resale market. I’m not a soccer/football fan, so I’m pretending it’s a modern cut rugby shirt, but regardless, it’s perfect. Just came in the mail, tried it on, love it. Is it the most creative/practical piece in the collaboration? Thanks for all your content!

Curious to see your thoughts. It makes me feel like a gym coach.

[Official_MikeyT]

I was going to buy the jacket but I can't because it wont even load the checkout page past a blank screen so screw it.

[newbquesttv]

I've got the black pants and jacket and I have to say I LOVE the pants, they're super comfy with the inner nylon lining, it's really noticeable how soft and nice they feel inside and they serve as just a nice, fairly subtle black track pant with a cool silhouette. Nothing earth shattering but very happy with them. Haven't worn the jacket much but love the look, I got the more subdued black one as well.
