The Streetwear Dominance of The North Face's Red Box Collection is Now Officially Confirmed
The North Face Introduces the Red Box Collection
The North Face has unveiled its latest offering, the Red Box collection, which debuted on July 31st. This permanent lifestyle collection pays homage to '70s and '90s era pieces from The North Face's history, and it is now available on thenorthface.com and select retailers like Bloomingdale's 59th Street flagship.
The Red Box collection features a range of apparel and accessories that blend vintage-inspired details with an elevated aesthetic. The focus is on comfort and functionality, with items such as jackets, tops, pants, fleece, hats, tote bags, and gear boxes, totaling 42 items.
Key pieces in the collection include the Men's TNF™ Red Box ½-Zip Fleece, made from 100% recycled fabric with a relaxed fit and secure-zip pocket. Other notable items are the Red Box Coaches Jacket priced at $225, the Red Box Down Jacket for $400, a packable hooded wind jacket ($200), and packable wind pants ($160). Accessories like the Red Box Nylon Hat ($60) and Tote Bag ($125) are also part of the collection.
Materials in the Red Box collection emphasise sustainability and durability. Recycled fabrics and The North Face's tough Base Camp material used in gear boxes designed to withstand harsh conditions are among the materials used. Design details lean on vintage inspiration combined with modern functionality, offering a heritage look with contemporary comfort and practicality.
The collection's fit tends to be relaxed to facilitate comfort and layering, evident in the fleece and outerwear pieces. Pricing ranges from around $50 for tees up to $400 for high-performance down jackets.
The North Face has been associated with hip-hop culture and streetwear since the '90s, and the Red Box collection acknowledges that the brand's logo has been a streetwear staple for decades. The gorpcore wave has matured beyond fleeting trend status into genuine wardrobe integration, and the Red Box collection reflects this evolution.
Supreme collaborations turned technical gear into hype-beast currency for The North Face, and the Nuptse jacket, more famous for its omnipresence in everyday fits than its alpine prowess, is a testament to this. The Red Box collection continues this legacy, offering a collection that is as stylish as it is functional.
