NIKE Lavadome Ultra Mens Trainers 844574 Sneakers Shoes

Product Information

The shoe stayed in the Nike line until 1985 until it was superseded by other Nike trail designs. Different earthy makeups were released and different materials, including Cordura, were applied during its early lifespan. By 1987, Nike had seen the potential in a booming outdoor market and began planning their All Conditions Gear line. The new ACG.07.KMTR is the first piece of footwear to emerge from Errolson Hugh’s work with Nike – with the exception of collaborations between Nike and his own label ACRONYM. Even this early in the relationship it’s evident that the imaginative streak that characterises the line will continue. The new model utilises a unique closure system of toggles and clips, while the multi-purpose durability can be seen with the use of ripstop fabric and a gusseted tongue. The current observing program includes Friday night sessions (free to the public), special viewing events during eclipses and meteor showers, and a series of classes managed through Fairfax County’s Parktakes program. The most popular activities involve families that bring their children to experience the wonders of the sky through the four telescopes. People are invited to bring their telescopes to get help setting them up and take advantage of an open area to see the sky from horizon to horizon. The Analemma Society also supports local science activities such as judging science fairs and working with various scout groups for their Astronomy Merit Badge activities. A young visitor explores the sky from the roll-top observatory. The pioneering work of designers like Hatfield and Fogg mean ACG has been at the cutting edge of Nike design development since the get-go. And with trail and performance outdoor wear gaining prominence within fashion and streetwear, the 2014 relaunch of Nike ACG as NikeLab ACG under ACRONYM head honcho Errolson Hugh was a prescient move.

The result of Hugh's involvement in ACG found its home at NikeLab, the brand's division for innovative products. The garments themselves were obviously of high quality, but on a macro level the project felt more like a collaboration between the ACG and Acronym than a truly homogenous mix of the two brands' identities. Hugh's ACG was dark and brooding, and was a distinct departure from the irreverent and rebellious spirit that the brand was founded upon. It’s an exciting time for any existing ‘All Conditions Gear’ fan, and anyone unfamiliar with the line is likely to become a convert. The combination of ACG innovation with contemporary aesthetics and modern world sensibilities is sure to produce some ground-breaking new styles. We can’t wait to see what’s next! The upper of this Lava Dome is still paneled, however, consisting of a suede and mesh combo in tones reminiscent of the 1981 colourways. There’s also a chunky toeguard wrapped around the front for added protection when striking the ground. For the immediate future, the next major project for the Analemma Society at Turner Farm is developing the RATO to allow use by groups for observing. Besides the direct visual viewing currently provided by the observatory's scopes, the hope is to provide children with an opportunity to control a telescope remotely. Observing from a remote location, like a classroom, they would see the dome open and rotate. The telescope would move electronically to the object they select to observe, and they would see its image form on their computer screen. Red lights on! A night of observing in the roll-top observatory is underway. Robert Anderson Workers prepare to lift the dome to the top of the observatory tower at Turner Farm.

By 1999, Nike’s trail designs were in vogue (literally in Vogue when they ran a lengthy feature on the Terra Humara) and these no-nonsense performance pieces were being twinned with Maharishi trousers on bleary-eyed B-listers clumsily exiting the Met Bar. Fittingly, the shoe that spawned this entire Nike genre was reissued that year and given a slight upgrade with the addition of air and an upgraded sole pattern. That the shoe was already at drinking age by that point is remarkable — even alongside brand-new designs, Lava Dome still looked relevant. Not even the patronage of Jamie Oliver at his laddish apex could sully it. Errolson’s experiences and style from ACRONYM gave ACG a significant boost with a young, modern, street- and techwear-obsessed culture,” says Gimbel, noting how a number of his friends were brought into the ACG fold following Hugh's reorientation of the line toward modern techwear.

Olin envisioned the theme of the park to be the concept of time and location, and he shepherded the idea through a long series of public hearings. His efforts were successful and development of an observatory was included in the master plan for the park. The original Lava Dome was an instant hit among Nike lovers, and it saw a revival again in the 90’s with rappers of the golden era and celebrities alike donning the trainer despite its outdoor intentions. Even comedian Jerry Seinfeld wore them!

One thing that’s interesting to note, is that many of the original designs have aged particularly well. Shoes such as the Lava Dome and the Wildwood still look as fresh today as they did when they first launched. Colours, branding, materials, marketing… Everything was on-point. contemporary outdoor settings. Launched in 1989 alongside the release of the Son of Lava Dome and Wildwood shoes, the label combines everyday comfort with a preference for a revised all-season function. Inspiration hails from the brand’s Blue Ribbon Sports heritage, but also from a passion for mountain utility, military styling and classic climbing apparel. Less destination minded and more focused on enjoying the journey, Nike ACG also remains known for their ability to connect with nature through an adaptive lens. Many of Nike ACG’s collections focus on a strive towards sustainable resourcing and are led by a goal of not only handling nature but protecting it too. The latest instalment in Nike SB’s ACG footwear revival, the Nike SB Dunk High Pro ‘ACG Superdome’ takes its undoubted creative influence from the OG silhouette debuted by the All Conditions Gear subdivision in the ‘90s. Finding itself neatly placed alongside the skatewear label’s recent Nike SB Dunk Low ‘ACG Terra’ and the earlier Nike SB Dunk Low ‘ACG Caldera’, this latest high-top release pays noted homage to both courtside heritage and to yet another time honoured ACG favourite. In the mid-90’s, ACG made a gradual, yet distinct pivot away from its bright, flamboyant image. Bold colors were replaced by muted tones on sleek garments, building the foundation for what would become the techwear we know today. The brand moved away from its explicit outdoor context, and directed its focus on the urban market. This era would eventually become known as the “Lungs” era, characterized by the safety orange triangles that resembled lungs and ultimately formed the new ACG logo. For many collectors of the brand, this era is considered a golden age of Nike design.
