The North Face x Supreme: Every Collaboration Released

From FW07 to present day, recounting over a decade of iconic products.

As the preeminent American brand to blend the irreverence of streetwear with the aspirational sensibilities of luxury, Supreme is known for certain practices. There are the biannual seasonal collections. There’s the rotating roster of brand staples and seasonal wildcards, alongside an ever-expanding offering of homewares, accessories and oddities. And then, of course, there are collaborations.

Today, Supreme’s iconic box logo is found on everything from Everlast boxing gloves to Honda dirt bikes, yet the New York skate brand has built a dependable stable of collaborators with whom it releases regular drops of signature product. Among the most famous of these is The North Face. Founded in 1968, The North Face is perhaps the most well-known outdoors brand in the world. Revered for its hard-wearing cold weather gear and use of innovative materials such as GORE-TEX, the brand is often considered the gold standard of technical clothing. 

In that sense, it’s no surprise that The North Face has become one of Supreme’s most consistent and coveted collaborators. In fact, nearly every season since 2007 includes a partnership between the two, resulting in expedition-ready garms rendered in prints, palettes and patterns not seen since the Golden Age of Streetwear (also known as the ’90s).

As Supreme and The North Face round the corner on over 15 years of collaborations, we take a look back at every collection, from Fall/Winter 2007 to present day.

Fall/Winter 2007

Working on silhouettes from The North Face’s iconic Summit Series line, two jackets were reimagined with a range of streetwear details for Supreme’s first outing with the outdoors brand, including color-blocked panels reminiscent of ’90s style cues, tonal sleeve branding and a leopard-print liner never before seen on a North Face jacket. While small in stature with just two products, the unexpected FW07 collaboration set the tone for all that would follow.

Spring/Summer 2008

Dubbed “Day and Night,” Supreme and The North Face’s SS08 collaboration yielded exactly what the name implied: two lightweight Summit jackets, decorated with a watercolor-esque image of New York’s Midtown Public Library in contrasting colors. The “Day” edition was rendered in vibrant hues of sky blue and sunshine orange with hints of green, tan and red, while the “Night” version presented a more understated version in a dark, grayscale mode. The followup to the debut collaboration a season before, SS08 introduced graphics to the brands’ design language, an aesthetic the two would experiment with frequently over the coming years.

Fall/Winter 2008

A material typically associated with outdoor brands, Supreme cosigned insulated fleece during the FW08 season, formally pulling the humble style into streetwear’s orbit. Beyond simply slapping its logo on the sleeve in the form of an embroidered tag, Supreme reworked The North Face’s paneled Denali style in tones of turquoise, violet and pink, resulting in a high-vis colorway that had rarely been seen before on the classic silhouette.

Spring/Summer 2010

After a few seasons’ hiatus, Supreme and The North Face returned with another headline-making collaboration. This time, the two worked together on a brand new silhouette: a lightweight pullover tricot shell jacket with taped seams, providing waterproof protection. The three colorways—red/blue, black and duck camo—provided a clear glimpse into Supreme’s historical aesthetic influences: Ralph Lauren Americana, understated everyday and streetwear subversion.

Fall/Winter 2010 

During the FW10 season, Supreme and The North Face presented a comprehensive blending of old and new, reinventing the outdoor brand’s iconic Mountain Jacket in a modified style, dubbed the “Mountain Parka.” Slightly shorter and more street-oriented than its progenitor, Supreme ramped up the retrofuture theme by constructing the jackets out of British Millerain waxed cotton. This collaboration also marked the first expansion from jackets alone, with the addition of three large duffle bags, made from the same material, that doubled as backpacks.

Spring/Summer 2011

For their first collaboration of 2011, Supreme and The North Face came through with a trio of lightweight windbreaker jackets in a striking checkerboard pattern, rendered in red/navy, yellow/white and tonal black colorways. These were accompanied by three matching The North Face caps and a real first: A Supreme-branded camo sleeping bag with a checkerboard interior lining. Like previous seasons, SS11 provided a hint at the exhaustive range of products to come from the two brands.

Fall/Winter 2011

Ever since the two first started collaborating it had been a question of when, not if, Supreme would take on The North Face’s famed Nuptse Jacket. During the FW11 season, they finally came through with a jacket that made the years-long wait worthwhile. The collaboration included three Nuptse Jackets, each featuring a vibrant leopard-print pattern, offset with classic contrast black panels, and constructed from durable ripstop nylon with 700-fill goose down. Luggage entered the picture for the first time as well in the form of a large Rolling Thunder suitcase in matching colors. 

Today, the collaboration is considered one of Supreme and The North Face’s most iconic of all time, bolstered in part by Drake donning the grey version of the FW11 Nuptse in the music video for “The Motto” just months after its release.

Spring/Summer 2012

Supreme and The North Face entered 2012 with a pair of Venture Parkas, constructed of lightweight, water-resistant nylon. Missing from the collaboration were the signature right-sleeve logo patches; in its place was an all-over map print, proving both brands weren’t afraid to experiment with successful formulas. Building off previous seasons, the SS12 collection included two backpacks and Rolling Thunder bags in matching white/navy and black/white colorways.

Fall/Winter 2012

Supreme and The North Face came through the next season with a revamp of the Mountain Parka, this time constructed of a premium corduroy fabric, coupled with three Day Pack backpacks modeled on classic ’80s Jansport styles. Of note, the jackets brought back the essential sleeve patches missing from the SS12 collection, while staying true to the understated collaboration method Supreme does best.

Spring/Summer 2013

Supreme and The North Face kept the hits coming for their first collaboration of 2013, reviving the staple Mountain Parka in reflective 3M material with hits of red and black across two colorways. On the accessories front, Supreme applied the same style to two Day Packs and a duo of over-the-shoulder pouches. While reflective accents have come and gone over the course of streetwear history, Supreme x The North Face SS13 remains a high point, indicative of the pair’s ability to push trends simmering beneath the surface to their logical extremes.

Fall/Winter 2013

For FW13, Supreme returned to the Nuptse Jacket, this time printing a unique fur pattern across every inch of the silhouette with the exception of the shoulders and collar. As always, the style featured 700-fill goose down and was paired with a sleeveless vest version. Like FW11, this season’s collection demonstrated Supreme’s ability to take inspiration from the animal kingdom and apply it to the world of streetwear in wholly original ways.

Spring/Summer 2014

Revisiting a maps theme for SS14, Supreme and The North Face rolled out a brand new silhouette: the Expedition Coaches Jacket, a lightweight style featuring a removable hood. The jacket presented some of the clearest signs of Supreme’s long-standing Ralph Lauren influences, adopting several stylistic elements reminiscent of the iconic New York designer, such as the distinctive flag motif on the chest and back. The jackets also revived the heavy branding approach first seen on SS12’s Venture Parkas, and were accompanied by backpacks rendered in the same colors and prints.

Fall/Winter 2014

Yet another outing for the iconic Mountain Parka, this time Supreme outfitted the silhouette in a paisley pattern, offered in black and red colorways. Ripstop construction allowed the jacket to be sealed, waterproof and breathable, while the addition of corresponding paisley gloves, luggage, slippers and a box logo sleeping bag turned this capsule into one of the era’s most memorable collaborations—from Supreme and The North Face or otherwise.

Spring/Summer 2015

Supreme went all out for its first North Face collaboration of 2015, breaking from previous collections’ singular approach with two different style categories. Highlighting the first collection was an exclusive reworking of The North Face’s Dot Shot Parka (a slightly different model from the better-known Mountain Parka), constructed from premium indigo denim and lined with GORE-TEX. Track pants, luggage and a boonie hat made from the same materials accompanied the hero style.

In the same release, Supreme presented four new editions of The North Face’s Expedition Coaches Jacket: two in star-spangled red and blue colorways, and two in more subtle black-and-yellow palettes. Like earlier collections that dropped accessories into the mix for the first time, SS15 helped expand the duo’s seasonal product offerings.

Fall/Winter 2015

Bringing back two fan favorites, Supreme went with a straightforward approach for FW15, releasing premium editions of the Nuptse Jacket and the Mountain Pullover, each decorated with an all-over print reading “By Any Means Necessary” (a phrase that has popped up on various Supreme pieces over the years). Backpacks, duffles and gloves in matching colorways of red, black and yellow dropped alongside the outerwear, continuing the pair’s capsule-like approach.

Spring/Summer 2016

For SS16, Supreme and The North Face dug deep into the archives to bring back The North Face’s Steep Tech skiwear line that ran from 1991 to 1998 and that occasionally popped up during the 2000s. Originally designed for professional skiers, the Steep Tech designs boasted foam padding and armored plating in key areas, as well as paneled construction intended to complement the movements of skis.

Supreme revived this collection with a more style-conscious approach, bringing back the original collection’s striking paneled designs and retro colorways, and decking the garments out with a wealth of zip pockets and closures. Alongside the outerwear, the two brands created a fleece tracksuit, accompanied by a handful of caps, T-shirts and other accessories, all tied into the Steep Tech aesthetic.

Fall/Winter 2016

FW16’s collection was relatively toned down, at least compared to previous seasons. At the heart of the collaboration were new iterations of the Nuptse Jacket, as well as a new Mountain Light Jacket, which, naturally, offered a lighter take on the Mountain Jacket silhouette. Each style was offered in two colorways: black and fluorescent orange, and black with real leaf camo print. Nuptse pants, backpacks, duffle bags, shoulder satchels and even an insulated bootie released alongside the jackets, ensuring something for everyone despite the relatively conservative approach employed this season.

Spring/Summer 2017

In a release not dissimilar to SS16’s Steep Tech collection, Supreme came through with a take on The North Face’s Trans Antarctica Expedition Jacket and Pants for SS17, accompanied by a fleece jacket, backpack and headband. As if the arresting colorways weren’t enough, the pieces were notable for their heavy use of oversized Supreme, The North Face and GORE-TEX branding details, as well as huge American flag motifs.

Fall/Winter 2017 (Part 01)

Besides the very first Nuptse collaboration back in 2011, if there was one other collaborative piece that was a long time coming, it was this one: a leather Nupste jacket. Offered in yellow, red and black colorways, the jacket was built to the usual Nuptse specs—700-fill goose down insulation and so on—but made from premium cowhide leather. It was coupled with a corresponding range of duffle bags, backpacks and shoulder satchels, as well as premium leather gloves. Like so many collaborations before, FW17 spoke to wider shifts in Supreme’s positioning, in this case alluding to the brand’s intentional blurring of streetwear and luxury.

Fall/Winter 2017 (Part 02)

Like it had done during the SS15 season, Supreme and The North Face presented a second collaboration on top of the full-leather Nuptse Jacket. Part 02 featured a Baltoro Jacket—similar to the Nuptse but with subtle design differences—and a Mountain Parka, both decorated with an all-over print of a snowy mountain peak. The jackets were dropped alongside a slew of crewnecks featuring an understated chest print and a back print of that same mountain peak, as well as some caps, a backpack and a packable insulated blanket. Today, the seasonal print remains among the most sought-after, appropriate for both cities and the slopes.

Spring/Summer 2018 (Part 01)

Supreme and The North Face went full-on glitz for SS18, presenting the Mountain Parka in a dazzling metallic colorway with waterproof and seamless nylon construction, alongside a pair of Mountain Bib Pants. Each piece was appropriately offered in gold, silver and rose gold, and accompanied by caps, backpacks and small luggage pieces. Rounding out the collection were a dual-branded T-shirt and hoodie. Similar to the reflective outing the two debuted during the SS13 season, the capsule demonstrated the pair’s willingness to take stylistic risks as they saw fit.

Spring/Summer 2018 (Part 02)

Coming through with yet another collab for the season, this time around the two brands presented a simple Expedition Coaches Jacket with taped seams, alongside pants, a reversible and packable crusher hat, and luggage, all decked out in green and grey snakeskin patterns. What made the collection stand out above all was the release of yet another first: a collaborative Supreme x The North Face tent, draped in snake camo and featuring a large box logo detail on the interior.

Fall/Winter 2018 (Part 01)

With the previous year’s luxury take on the Nuptse Jacket, it was only right that the staple Mountain Parka should get its own leather treatment. For this release, Supreme constructed the coveted silhouette in leather, offered in black, red, green and blue colorways. Like so much of Supreme’s collaboration catalog, it could have ended there, but the New York label went above and beyond with the addition of caps, a premium leather waist bag and a small shoulder pouch.

Fall/Winter 2018 (Part 2)

Coming through with another heavily branded collaborative collection, the second drop of the season offered a slew of brightly colored North Face pieces constructed from ultra-durable Cordura ripstop nylon and lined with GORE-TEX materials. Alongside the usual array of classic outerwear pieces were some wildcard products, such as dungarees and fleece jackets, while a slew of tees, sweats and luggage accessories made this Supreme’s most comprehensive North Face collaboration yet.

Spring/Summer 2019

Toning things down somewhat from the assured drops released seasons prior, SS19 saw Supreme and The North Face release the Mountain Parka in a new edition, accompanied by the welcome return of the Denali fleece jacket. The designs were relatively simple: think bold new colorways and hits of Supreme’s arch logo on the front (a motif common to the brand’s mainline pieces but never seen before on a North Face piece). Mountain pants, duffles and even a pocket organizer all continued this theme, resulting in a collection that was for those who like their Supreme logos large and visible.

Fall/Winter 2019 (Part 01)

Supreme x The North Face’s first drop of FW19 featured an oversized graphic of the Statue of Liberty applied to a range of outerwear pieces. The Mountain Jacket and Baltoro Jacket were rounded off with a waterproof backpack, all offered in corresponding colorways with the same print, in addition to an understated T-shirt and hoodie. Today, the collection is best remembered for injecting a heavy dose of Supreme’s on-again, off-again hometown spirit.

Fall/Winter 2019 (Part 02)

Supreme and The North Face’s second drop of 2019 appeared to take influence from classic Maison Margiela, offering new renditions of the Nuptse Jacket and Pant (as well as a scarf), decorated with a deceptive all-over print designed to resemble creased and crumpled paper. Slimmed down compared to previous drops—and certainly one of the more high-concept releases the two had ever put out—FW19 remains one for those in the know.

Spring/Summer 2020 (Part 01)

SS20 saw a return to maximalism, with Supreme and The North Face exploring techwear through the release of an RTG Jacket that could be paired with a corresponding RTG Vest, which featured an integrated backpack. An RTG Fleece, meanwhile, provided a different option from the usual Denali silhouette, while a few pieces including a turtleneck sweater, T-shirt, miniature backpack and small luggage accessories completed the picture.

Spring/Summer 2020 (Part 02)

For their second SS20 drop, Supreme and The North Face went full cargo, coming through with a jacket, vest and pants, each decked out with a bevy of additional pockets. Offered in muted black and tan colorways as well as a stunning paint-splatter pattern, the second collection of the season is now considered one of the duo’s most memorable designs. Accompanying accessories included a travel tote bag, a camp cap with removable neck sun guard and a floating keychain, as well as a charity tee with proceeds going towards a COVID-19 relief fund.

Fall/Winter 2020 (Part 01)

Supreme supersized its logo for FW20, applying the iconic design to a range of North Face jackets, including a Himalayan Parka, Mountain Jacket and Hooded Fleece Jacket, as well as a range of accessories such as insulated mitts, a sleeping bag, a backpack and a shoulder bag, all slapped with a massive “S.” Like FW15’s “By Any Means Necessary” capsule, the seasonal collection was tailor-made for those seeking boldness.

Fall/Winter 2020 (Part 02)

Exploring the fabrication possibilities of the Nuptse Jacket, Supreme rendered the iconic silhouette in faux fur for FW20. Styles were offered in colorways of red, green and black, with the same material applied to a backpack and waist bag. The collaboration harked back to FW12’s corduroy collection, demonstrating the many ways in which Supreme lends its design stamp to North Face’s product catalog.

Spring/Summer 2021 (Part 01)

Supreme and The North Face reconvened on their classic formula for SS21, offering a range of outerwear pieces in an exclusive pattern, all, naturally, designed by Supreme. For this one, the Nuptse Jacket, Mountain Light Jacket, Nuptse Vest, Nuptse Pant and a grip of accessories were all rendered in a “metal stud” pattern reminiscent of classic punk gear.

Spring/Summer 2021 (Part 02)

For the SS21 season’s second release, Supreme and The North Face offered a new take on the Summit Series, bringing the jackets’ signature waterproof taped seams on the outside. Alongside the central Summit Series shell, the two brands released a pared-back Expedition Coaches Jacket, a slew of color-blocked sweatsuits, T-shirts and the always essential caps and luggage. In the context of previous releases and those to come, SS21 Part 02 once again highlighted Supreme’s design versatility.

Fall/Winter 2021 (Part 01)

For FW21, Supreme and The North Face reached into the archives to revive the Coldworks 700-Fill Down Parka, as well as the Steep Tech jacket from a few seasons prior and a Steep Tech Fleece Jacket. Each of the jackets featured an all-over Supreme logo print reminiscent of late ’90s skiwear, finished with corresponding Steep Tech pants. Additional pieces included T-shirts, backpacks and fleece headbands featuring the same branded print.

Fall/Winter 2021 (Part 02)

A spiritual successor to their previous denim collaboration—as well as playing on a motif that Supreme has employed on numerous collaborations and releases over the years— Supreme applied a unique bleached denim print to staple North Face pieces for their second FW21 release. A restrained color palette means this capsule remains among the most subtle of Supreme and The North Face’s storied collaboration journey.

Spring/Summer 2022 (Part 01)

Supreme and The North Face’s first collaboration of SS22 was reminiscent of mountain rescue gear, adorned with extra-large, reflective medical crosses. The hero pieces, including a Summit Series Rescue Baltoro Jacket, Mountain Pro Jacket and Summit Series Rescue Mountain Pant, all boasted high-tech construction with large reflective crosses and Supreme logo details in key areas, while accompanying base layer pieces, backpacks and a pair of Smith Rescue Goggles helped push the mountain rescue theme even further.

Spring/Summer 2022 (Part 02)

For their second outing of the SS22 season, Supreme and The North Face reconvened on the outdoor brand's Trekking line. Heading up the collaboration was the Trekking Convertible Jacket, constructed of recycled nylon and marked by zip-off sleeves at the elbow and shoulder. A wide range of other products complemented the hero piece, from the matching Trekking Zip-Off Belted Pant and Trekking Sandal to a short-sleeve shirt and camp cap. Familiar motifs helped anchor the collection, including a multi-color floral print and a bandana pattern, all set against a handful of monochromatic styles.
