Whether right now might be the absolute pinnacle is a subject for serious debate, but there’s no questioning Nike All Conditions Gear has been hotter over these past couple years than any time since the early ’90s explosion. One thing we haven’t seen much of from ACG, though, is models appearing in multiple heights to satisfy hikers and outdoorsmen of all tastes. Thankfully, that changes with the new Nike ACG Oze GTX in Mid and Low cuts, a model whose first three colorways display a range from organic and earthy all the way to classic ACG exuberance.

With the Nike Zoom Meriwether getting the Hiroshi Fujiwara stamp of approval last year, you can bet this chunky ACG offering with a bit of Zoom DNA on the inside isn’t going anywhere. As nice as the fragment collabos were though it was just a bit difficult for some to fathom copping an ACG shoe built in a material that would get thrashed in the rain. If you were holding out for something a bit more weather ready then the ‘Bison’ quickstrike shown here might be more your speed, a pair with some gorgeous brown leather for the upper and a deep red shade thrown in on the laces and zipper for pop. Click through for the extra angles and pick up the Nike Zoom Meriwether QS ‘Bison’ now at Nikestore.

The Nike ACG Zoom Meriwether is at the head of the class of a new generation of All Conditions Gear boots. This rugged yet elegant design has excelled to this point by proving an absolute command over tonal suede applications, but this latest pair manages to climb just as high by embracing one the models that laid the foundation for ACG. This ‘Bison’ Zoom Meriwether ACG Quickstrike adds red laces and black accents to approximate the OG Air Magma look, a white midsole the key difference in colorblocking. This quarter-century or so retrospective on Nike Boots offers the kind of quality that’ll have you looking forward to the next generation will bring.

Nike ACG heads have been getting pretty lucky as of late, with some killer models showing up in 2011. Air Max showed up in ACG with the Nike ACG Air Max Conquer and new joints like the Nike ACG Zoom Meriwether even got a bit of quickstrike treatment. One of the more unassuming models to show up was the Nike ACG Manoa, with a smooth set of lines and a bit of a molded look. We’ve just got word of a new colorway showing up for this Swoosh boot, with an almost eggplant tone up top that echoes the classic Goadome look from the ACG repertoire. Follow us after the jump to get a better feel for this new colorway and grab a pair for yourself now from Oneness.

With all the dope Lava Dunk ACG colorways we saw over the past couple months, Nike ACG had their bases covered, but it’s still nice to get a bit of that OG flavor back in the mix. The Nike Air Lava Dome reminds us of a time before the All Conditions Gear division was even established, but these two new colorways are distinct products of the second decade of the 21st century. These new Lava Domes come with the same slightly-yellowed VNTG-style soles that came on the only two colorways released in 2011, and these two new colorups in black/purple or earthy tones plus blue and orange hits are the kind of thing we just haven’t seen applied to this silhouette as of yet. Click through so you can see both pairs and let us know which ones you prefer. via Tenisfuki

Nike All Conditions Gear just knows that just because the spring fashion season begins in January doesn’t mean you won’t need rugged boots as the weather starts to get warmer. The Nike ACG Lava Dunk High is a model that you can use to add a strong side to your wardrobe, though this suede construction is probably best reserved for days and conditions other than the sloppiest. This new black pair adds red laces to match the two-toned setup on olive and beige pairs we showed you back in early December, and all of them should be available at US Nike Sportswear shops by the end of this month. Click through to see more of the black pair, let us know which one of the three is your favorite after going back to see the others and stick with Sneaker News for word on their US release date. via atmos

Nike All Conditions Gear took advantage of the momentum created by 2010′s Lunar MacLeay and parlayed that into what’s gotta be the best variety of boots since the golden era, and perhaps in the entire history of the Swoosh’s outdoor division. Models like the Zoom Meriwether, Lava Dunk High and Air Max Conquer ACG have the kind of visual appeal that means you can remain stylish even when the weather threatens your favorite sneakers, this latest release exactly the kind of thing you want working for you when the snow hits the fan. The Nike ACG Manoa is perhaps the simplest execution of all of ACG’s current boot lineup, its smooth, sweeping lines vaguely similar to the classic Goadome, but without any of the visible Max Air cushioning in its soles. This olive green edition adds black and bright orange accents to nail that hunter vibe, and they’re available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Oneness.

While the Nike Air Approach certainly is a hybrid, it’s one of the more conservative of hybrids in the Swoosh repertoire, mixing up two models within the same design wing of Nike ACG. The respective models, the Nike Air Magma and the Nike Lava Dome, both have a similar design and approach to materials and the outcome is something like the swoosh and segmented set up from the Lava Dome appropriated onto the overall shape and height of the Air Magma. The result feels pretty natural, with the Nike Air Approach Mid fitting in as a hybrid model that just makes sense. We’ve got a detailed look at this new black and purple colorway, so hit the jump for that and stick with us for more from the ACG front. via mita
