In keeping with Nike's philosophy of telling stories, Nike ACG's Spring Summer 09 Collection collection takes things back to where it all started in 1989. Here's just a few examples of what's gone into this very special collection.

This 100% organic cotton tee shows off two of the shoes that have defined Nike ACG over the years, the Air Mowabb and the Air Magma. The shoes were designed by Nike's legendary designer Tinker Hatfield who has been responsibile for such classics as the Air Jordan. The front shows off these originals whilst slung over the back shoulder is the new Blazer ACG Mid and the Air Magma 2.4.

Back in 1989, this bearded fellow was the talisman of Nike ACG's outdoor spirit and adorned many a t-shirt. So what better way to celebrate a double decade than to bring him back, again with 100% organic cotton.

Late last year, HUCK was taken to Moab, Utah. The town is the spiritual home of the great American outdoors and a seminal source of inspiration for Nike ACG (hence the Air Mowabb).

Check out HUCK #014 for the full story on this amazing place.
