The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket – Green

The Original. Back to Its Roots.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Green is the Nuptse returning to the world that made it — the mountains, the forests, the great outdoors that have always been The North Face’s natural home. Green is the colour of exploration, of the trails and treelines that The North Face was born to conquer, and on the 1996 Retro’s iconic baffled silhouette it feels like a homecoming. This is the Nuptse for those who remember where it came from and love it all the more for it.

Where It All Began.

Before the Nuptse became a street icon, it was a mountain jacket — and green is the colour that honours that origin most directly. On the trail, it sits naturally against the landscape; in the city, it brings a grounded, earthy energy that feels both current and deeply considered. Pair it with khaki, tan, and olive for a rich, tonal outdoor palette, or contrast it against black and white for a bold, graphic statement that lets the green do the talking. The 1996 Retro in Green is the Nuptse for the explorer — whether that exploration takes place on a mountain or a city block.
