The Unveiling of North Face X KAWS

March 01, 2022

What's better than a North Face Nuptse jacket for the winter? There's only one answer — The North Face and KAWS collaborated Nuptse jacket. This new collaboration reinterprets the 1996 Nuptse jacket with a flair of revived energy and contemporary design. With the very brick weather of the east coast, leaving you confused by Fool's Spring and caught in the snow of Third Winter — this collaboration comes just in time. A rule of thumb that we all know when undergoing such hellish, or the contrary, temperatures is to put on those thermals, those hoodies, and those puffer jackets. Yet, in theory, we will all end up camouflaging with our black Nuptse jackets: so, what's a KAWS version to keep you standing out?

Each piece blurs the line with visionary prints and high-tech pieces that inspire the world and dethrone the serious. The first release of the collection has been made available online at richandhanc.com, and other retailers such as Dover Street Market, END Clothing, Slam Jam, KITH, and more.
