Jay Gordon, co-founder of Boston boutique Bodega first fell in love with Nike’s ACG during high school, and now he’s given a chance to Superstar his very own School Leather Bow Mary Jane Shoes silhouette.
“The first time I saw someone wearing the Mowabb I thought ‘those are awesome.’ It was one of the first ACG shoes that I got. I was with a Trinity at a store on 17th street. He was like, ‘Why are you getting that? It’s crazy?’”
Gordon’s love affair with American outdoor gear (and ACG in feature) comes full circle in a duo of special-edition NIKEiD x ACG x Pendleton Mowabb. The two versions highlight distinct, limited Pendleton patterns created especially for Nike (fun fact: It’s the first Pendleton output to include the Nike wordmark). The Arctic is an appropriately stark Black-and-White scheme, while the Sunset mixes bold colors references the late evening skyline of Moab.
Launching November 5th, Gordon’s two articulations of the NIKEiD ACG x Pendleton Mowabb feature an exclusive speckled heel strap and Black outsole. Each is numbered 1-100 on the medial side of the collar (in the style of the ACG badge). The Sunset will be available at ComplexCon in Long Beach, while the Arctic Geox D Jacy Mid Brown Womens Ankle & Booties Boots.
Additional customizable options for the NIKDiD ACG x Pendleton will run on Nike.com from November 9th at 9AM until November 14th at 11:59 pm.
