The Original. In Its Most Classic Form.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Navy is the icon dressed in the most enduring colour in outerwear — a deep, rich navy that has never gone out of style and never will.

This is the 1996 Retro for those who want the icon in its most classically considered expression.

Timeless. Without Exception.

Navy is the colour that has accompanied explorers, sailors, athletes, and style icons for centuries — the shade that sits at the intersection of utility and elegance, of the functional and the beautiful. On the Nuptse’s oversized baffled construction, it creates a jacket with an immediate, lasting authority that black approaches but never quite matches for sheer wearability across every context. Pair it with grey and white for a clean, classic combination; with camel and tan for a warm, rich winter palette; or with burgundy and forest green for a deep, adventurous look that draws on the full depth of the season’s best tones. The 1996 Retro in Navy is the Nuptse that never has a wrong day.
