The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket Black

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket Black is a timeless icon blending classic mountaineering heritage with urban style. This jacket features the distinctive oversized baffles that define its silhouette, filled with ultra-warm 700-fill goose down insulation to keep you cozy in cold conditions. Crafted in durable, shiny ripstop nylon with a non-PFC durable water-repellent finish, it offers protection against wind and rain while remaining lightweight and packable.

Designed with practical details like a stowable three-piece hood, exposed VISLON® front zip, secure zip hand pockets, and adjustable elastic cuffs, the jacket prioritises functionality without compromising its retro aesthetic. The relaxed boxy fit ensures comfort and layering flexibility, while embroidered logos on the chest and back pay homage to the original 1996 design.

A true cultural artifact, this jacket balances mountaineering toughness and streetwear cool, making it a versatile piece for city streets or outdoor adventures. Its recycled fabric content further supports mindful consumption without sacrificing performance or style.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
