Explanation:
ACG stands for All Conditions Gear--straight from the horse's mouth. (See below)

Context is everything. The word \"shoes\" is not necessary here.

> Nike is not merely a shoe-manufacturer anymore.

Ahem. Nike never was a manufacturer of anything. The shoes are manufactured in Asian sweatshops.

Setting aside the issue of whether Web site catch copy \"misleads\" the customer, I consider the adjective \"hot-selling\" restrictive IN THIS CONTEXT. Note that \"hot-selling SUVs\" in a TimeWeek article doesn\'t necessarily mean all SUVs.

BTW, in Japanese SUVs are only part of the RV class.

neutral  mkj (X): It might lead some people to think that the whole ACG series is newly in stock.

  -> Good point. 系 most frequently means a member of a series, not the entire series.
neutral  LEXICON KK: mkj is right. 大物 here refers to a certain hot shoe (or shoes) in the ACG line. not the ENTIRE line. the english could mislead a few.

Hot Nike ACG series, now in stock!


Explanation:
The name Nike tells you what it is without mentioning that the product is shoes. (But I guess that doesn't really matter here, does it?)

disagree  mkj (X): This definitely will lead people to think that the whole ACG series is newly in stock. NIKE is not merely a shoe-manufacturer anymore.

Hot items from the NIKE ACGs (are) now in stock!


Explanation:
I wonder if the shoes you looked at were popular already somewhere else or brand-new items on the market. If it's new, you can put "new" between "Hot" and "items". The (are) part is optional; with or without it, the sentence maintains the same meaning since this is an ad.
大物 means a big one, a hot item, great item, etc.

I believe that what's supposed to be hot in the Japanese sentence you gave is the shoes and not the whole ACGs, strictly speaking.
