The North Face taps into archives with their Extreme Collection
The North Face originates from humble beginnings out on the west coast of America, with their passion for mountaineering and unmatched ambition they built the San Fransisco-hailing brand which has become a global phenomenon, first in the world of the outdoors and more recently into the streetwear culture.
More than 50 years after it's inception, TNF has dug deep into the archives and reintroduced the Extreme collection, first debuted in 1988. A capsule heavily influenced by the '80s and '90s high-flying big mountain ski culture, with modern technology and function reworked into current style. A stand out collection which compiles retro typefaces, bold colour-blocking, tricolour aesthetics and decorative graphics.
This range features jackets, caps, bags, pants and more. Displaying the perfect collaboration of past and present, this jacket is made from waterproof DryVent™ fabric and is definitely your go-to outerwear to cover up during the winter.
One of our favourites from the collection is the 92 Extreme Rain Jacket. Displaying the perfect collaboration of past and present, combining modern technology with the retro '90s ski style from their Extreme collection and palette. Made from waterproof DryVent™ fabric, this is your go-to jacket to cover up on wet days during the winter.
Another from the collection which we think is amazing is the 92 Extreme Wind Anorak. Coming in an Asphalt Grey colourway, with grey and black colour blocking and outlined with neon yellow hits, evoking images of the golden ski age and the era of high-flying slope colours. Made from windproof nylon this jacket is going to keep you protected during the winter season. Featuring a half-zip closure, storm flap and three front pockets for all your smaller essentials, a must-have in your streetwear wardrobe.
This collection can transform from climate to climate, a capsule ready for the mid-city bustle as well as your winter ski trip. If you're wanting to make a statement, shop the full collection here.
