The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket – Green

The Original. Back Where It Belongs.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Green is the 1996 Retro Nuptse in the colour that most honestly reflects where it came from. The North Face was built in the mountains. The Nuptse was designed for the mountains. And green — in all its depth, its richness, and its unmistakable connection to the natural world — is the colour that returns the most iconic down jacket ever made to its original context. The same expedition-proven warmth. The same iconic quilted panel construction. The same boxy silhouette that changed outerwear permanently. In green, with its roots showing.

Green. The Nuptse That Remembers the Mountain.

The 1996 Retro Nuptse has lived many lives: on expedition, on the street, in the fashion world, in the cultural imagination of three decades of outerwear. But in green, it remembers exactly what it is — a jacket designed by a mountain brand, for mountain conditions, with the mountain’s colours in its DNA. That connection to the natural world is what gives the green Nuptse a quality that the other colourways approach differently: an authenticity that is not constructed or curated, but inherent. The same green that covers every alpine meadow, every forest approach, every trail that leads to somewhere worth going. On the street, it carries that provenance with it everywhere — a reminder that behind the icon, there has always been a mountain. The North Face since 1966. The Nuptse, since 1996. Green, from the beginning.
