Nike ACG is starting over. But with so much history behind the brand, the revitalized All Conditions Gear department is hitting the trail from scratch. After relaunching Nike’s outdoor focus with a trail-ready version of the Ultrafly and an updated Zegama made for distance hikes, the latest ACG drop returns to where it all began with a freshly retooled Nike ACG LDV.
The Nike LDV was a 1970s silhouette made for road running, but when American mountaineers Rick Ridgeway and John Roskelley climbed K2 in the shoes in 1978, Nike knew they had something on their hands. That LDV trek inspired the creation of the ACG division, and nearly 50 years later, the model is once again finding its way to the mountain top.

Debuting in two retro-inspired colorways, a yellow and blue blend with pink accents, and a blue and orange colorway with yellow accents, the ACG LDV is ready for your next big spring hike.
The Nike ACG LDV was released today, April 16, 2026 exclusively through outdoor retailer Huckberry, with a global release set for April 23, 2026. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Nike ACG news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
