The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket – Men's Navy

The Nuptse. The Original. In Its Most Enduring Colour.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in Navy is the Retro Nuptse in the colourway that takes everything the 1996 design established — the boxy silhouette, the bold baffles, the cultural authority that has only grown with time — and grounds it in the most enduringly correct colour in outerwear. Navy on the Retro Nuptse is not a safe choice. It is the considered one: the colour that the jacket’s outdoor heritage and its streetwear legacy share equally, the tone that reads as effortlessly right in the city as it does on the mountain, and the colourway that makes the 1996 Nuptse’s iconic silhouette feel simultaneously completely timeless and completely current.

Key Features

• 700-fill goose down insulation — the exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio of the original 1996 Nuptse, delivering the same outstanding cold-weather performance that established the jacket’s reputation across three decades
• Iconic boxy, oversized silhouette — the generous, relaxed fit that was ahead of its time in 1996 and has never stopped being exactly right since, in the navy that makes its authority most understated and most complete
• Bold quilted baffle construction — the large, distinctive baffles that give the Nuptse its unmistakable profile, reading in navy with a depth and richness that no lighter colourway approaches
• Zip-off hood — the original’s functional versatility, faithfully retained in the Retro reissue
• Packable design — compresses into its own pocket for travel and storage without compromising the down fill quality
• The North Face logo — the half-dome marque of the brand that has equipped serious outdoor pursuits since 1966

Navy. The Nuptse at Its Most Complete.

Black is the Nuptse for those who want the standard. Khaki is the Nuptse for those who want the origin. Navy is the Nuptse for those who want both — the colour that carries the outdoor heritage of The North Face’s mountain tradition and the streetwear authority of the 1996 design’s cultural crossover with equal ease and equal conviction. In navy, the Retro Nuptse’s bold baffle construction reads with a richness and depth that makes the jacket’s volume feel considered rather than oversized, its silhouette purposeful rather than throwback, its presence in any wardrobe completely and permanently justified. Not the Nuptse that announces itself. The Nuptse that never needs to. The North Face since 1966. The Nuptse, since 1996. Navy, for those who want it all.
