Hyke and The North Face work in collaboration to create a stylish range of outdoor apparel for the season ahead. The two brands have worked together before for the Fall/Winter 2019 season and it was full of GORE-TEX silhouettes, which continue once again for Spring/Summer 2024.
The designs are finished with utility vests, trail sneakers, and weatherproof outerwear. All of the products are decorated with small motifs of branding -- all of which contribute to the now Fall/Winter 2024 season, the latest to their lineup. The attention focuses closer to trail running as the exercise has been gaining more traction lately. The two present a full trail running series with a technical build throughout the upper and a hidden lacing system.
