Expansive Collaborative Streetwear Capsules

The North Face and KAWS Join on the XX KAWS Capsule

The North Face works in collaboration with KAWS to design the expansive XX KAWS collection. This follows the idea of "two mindsets, one vision. To see the world outside the lines." The designs are made on and off the mountain in terms of the style and the performance of the pieces, made to express its spectacular technical innovation and progressive design.

The new capsule is made up of men's, women's, and youth designs including the notable 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket as a stand-out offering. The rest of the capsule includes accessories and luggage along with wearables. All of the collaborative items are marked with KAWS' bold, abstract patterns that are detailed with bright color palettes.
