Nike ACG Debuts the All Conditions Express Mobile Basecamp
Nike transforms a historic Italian train into a functional outdoor hub traveling from Milan to the Alps.
Summary
- The All Conditions Express is a repurposed Italian commuter train serving as a mobile basecamp for outdoor exploration
- The four-day journey departed from Milan Central Station and traveled into the Orobic Alps to highlight Nike ACG’s rebrand
- High-profile athletes like Jannik Sinner and Bebe Vio joined the inaugural trip to test technical gear in extreme conditions
Nike ACG has officially unveiled the All Conditions Express, a moving basecamp designed to transport athletes from the urban center of Milan into the heart of the Italian wilderness. Launched as part of a wider brand reintroduction, the project ran from February 4 to February 8 and utilizes a customized orange train to bridge the gap between city life and rugged performance. The initiative marks a significant moment for the Nike ACG ecosystem as it refocuses on trail running, hiking, and high-intensity exploration.
The All Conditions Express is more than a visual takeover; it is a fully immersive environment designed to reflect the technical philosophy of All Conditions Gear. The train features dedicated carriages for specific athlete needs, including a showroom for the latest footwear innovations like the ACG Ultrafly and specialized recovery zones. One carriage was developed in collaboration with Hyperice, featuring a customized version of the Normatec Elite compression system finished in signature ACG orange to assist runners after alpine sessions.
Upon reaching the Pian dei Resinelli and the Orobic Alps, passengers — which included athletes like Jannik Sinner and Bebe Vio — participated in curated trail runs and hiking sessions led by expert guides. The activation allowed Nike to showcase its latest apparel solutions, such as the Lava Loft down jacket and the Radical AirFlow racing top, in the unpredictable weather conditions for which they were engineered. This mobile experience serves as a physical manifesto for the brand’s renewed commitment to supporting the global trail community through its All Conditions Racing Department.
