The first ever Supreme x The North Face collaboration was a barely a capsule—particularly considering the considerable collections of late. The two reworked just a single silhouette, the Summit Jacket. Available in two distinct colorways (red/white/black and tan/purple/black), the color blocked jackets harkened back to the vintage ‘90s outdoor color schemes popularized by activewear brands like Puma and Nike ACG. While relatively simple, the waterproof design introduced two notable Supreme x The North Face signatures—a contrast lining and Supreme branding running down the left sleeve in an exaggerated, non-italicized version of its signature Futura typeface.

One of the most coveted collabs in the brand’s history, the duo’s second summit jacket featured a print of a city landmark, the New York Public library in Midtown. Available in both a “Day” and “Night” iteration, the all-over print is notoriously rare, often selling for thousands of dollars—that is if you can find one. Like the prior season, each jacket featured Supreme branding on the left sleeve, but the wraparound print is what set it apart, a motif Supreme would continue to revisit for years.

Considering our current obsession with fleeces, this next collaboration is especially prescient. For the Fall/Winter 2008 season, Supreme worked with The North Face to reconfigure its iconic Denali jacket. Available in three variations, the colorblocked fleeces juxtaposed bright pastel nylon panels with neutral colored fleece to create a jacket literally a decade ahead of its time. Featuring 300 Polartec fleece, the jacket was not only the most technically driven collaboration to date, but helped lay the foundation for Supreme fleeces moving forward—now a core part of the label’s seasonal Fall/Winter offering.

After a two-season hiatus, Supreme x The North Face returned with a trio of Expedition pullover anoraks. Unlike prior seasons, each of the three designs were distinct, with an all black, a colorblocked red/blue and a duck camo rendition that collectors hunt for to this day. While not boasting any particularly special design flourishes, the jackets were packed with high-end tech, including a triple-layered nylon shell and taped seams. Boasting 100 percent waterproof construction, the Expedition anorak set the precedent for construction and material in The North Face collaborations moving forward.

The following season, Supreme and The North Face introduced an additional silhouette, in a brand new fabric. Reworking the Mountain Parka—the duo’s first piece of heavyweight outerwear—in three earth-toned colorways, the winter jacket came decked in Britsh outdoor manufacturer Millerains signature waterproof waxed cotton, the very same fabric Barbour uses. While lacking branding down the sleeve, a simple box logo tag below the signature The North Face shoulder patch Alongside the heritage fabric, for the first time the collaboration expanded beyond clothing, with a trio of duffle bags in corresponding colors. Easily converted into backpacks via hidden straps on the underside of each bag, the capsule was the most trail ready collection the two had released so far, a nod to Supreme’s on-going expansion outside of skate-centric clothing.

Once again expanding the capsule, for Spring/Summer 2011 the two decided to drop three pieces, each available in three distinct colorways. First, there was the pull-over checkered windbreaker. Constructed from a water-resistant poly shell with a nylon lining, the pullover was available in red, yellow and black and featured a kangaroo pocket and packable hood with Supreme branding running laterally across from neck to forehead. Next, there was the matching fitted caps in corresponding colors and, finally, the sleeping bag. Clearly the highlight of the season, the outdoor essential—available in red, black, and camo—was made from a proprietary fabric boasting The North Face’s patented Heatshield synthetic insulation technology and features a massive box logo running from top to bottom. While Supreme issued a number of The North Face sleeping bags in the years since, finding a first generation in mint condition is still on the top of many collectors bucket lists.

For their first ever joint puffer, Supreme and The North Face didn’t pull back any punches. Featuring a striking leopard print and available in three colors, the Nupste jacket became an instant classic. Dropping in the midst of Supreme’s global expansion, the jacket became a cult classic when Drake wore the yellow version in his music video for “The Motto.” Ever since, the puffer has been a street style icon, with a resale price tag to match. While the other colorways (green and grey) are still impressive, following the Drake video they simply can’t compare. Smaller than the previous capsule, the collection also included a matching Rolling Thunder travel bag but, considering the insane popularity of the Nuptse, it mostly feel by the wayside.

When Supreme and The North Face dropped their first collaborative Venture parka, the duo went in a decidedly different direction than prior seasons. Ditching the usual co-branded sleeve tags, the jackets featured an all-over map print, which additionally found its way on another Rolling Thunder rollaway and a ballistic nylon Hotshot backpack. While the parka’s water-resistant ripstop nylon Hyvent shell was impressive, the lack of Supreme branding on the sleeve made this one of the least successful releases to date.

Clearly noticing the Venture parka’s less than warm reception, for Fall/Winter 2012 the collaborators went back to the basics, presenting another Mountain Parka with the beloved co-branded right sleeve. For this season, Supreme introduced a water-resistant cotton corduroy fabric in three colors, as well as a series of corresponding Medium Day packs. While not overly impressive, for many this collaboration was a return to form following a lackluster Spring/Summer 2012 capsule.

Considered a grail by many collectors, the third Mountain Parka Supreme and The North Face produced is one of the all-time greats. Utilizing a 3M coated shell, for the first time the two brands produced a jacket that was almost entirely reflective, apart from a number of abrasion resistant ripstop panels located on the chest, shoulders, cuffs and the forearm. Available in two colorways, the reflective mountain parka was a smash hit, and still commands a heavy resale markup to this day. Alongside the Mountain Parka, the collaboration included a Medium Day Pak and Roo II waistpack, available in the same reflective material and color scheme as the Parkas.

While this season’s collaboration was significantly smaller, it was a doozy. The Nuptse jacket made a return, however for Fall/Winter 2013 rather than leopard the jackets boasted a mock rabbit fur pattern. While only one colorway was released, the duo additionally designed a sleeveless version, the first vest the two partners ever produced. Utilizing the same 700-fill goose down, both the puffer and vest featured a packable hood with the same lateral branding available in the previous Fall/Winter 2011 iteration.

For the first time, the collaboration served as a way for not only Supreme, but The North Face to introduce an entirely new silhouette. Dubbed the Expedition Coaches Jacket, the new design updated the classic menswear garment with a waterproof nylon shell and detachable hood. Available in four colors, the most popular of which was the legendary “Map” pattern. While the others (yellow, teal, black) were popular, the world map print became the stuff of Supreme legend. Alongside the coaches jacket, the collaboration included a set of corresponding backpacks, which we considerably less popular. Of particular note this season was the “flag” patch, which appeared throughout the collection and became a seasonal signature.

The most expansive collection yet, Fall/Winter 2014 included five items ranging from outerwear to footwear and accessories. Still, it wasn’t the breadth of the collection that struck a chord with fans, but the print that appeared throughout. Available in three colors (black, red and navy), Fall/Winter 2014 introduced a paisley pattern that made its way to a Rolling Thunder bag, Dolomite sleeping bag, ETIP insulated gloves, the overly slept-on Thermoball traction slip-on mules and, of course, the Mountain Parka. Now considered one of the most iconic Supreme x The North Face pieces ever made, for those willing to pay the handsome resale tax the bandana-esque parka—the red version in particular—is a certified classic.

Marking several firsts, Supreme x The North Face’s 14th outing introduced a triple-layered water-resistant denim fabric available on a string of never before seen products. Imbued with Gore-Tex Windstopper technology, the fabric graced a number of silhouettes including the Dot Shot parka—a longer mid thigh coat—Denali hiking pants, Medium Day Pack and Basecamp duffles. Additionally, the partners dropped an entirely unrelated Packable Coaches Jacket in black, yellow and two American-themed all-over star print versions as well. Lacking that season’s trademark material, the coaches jacket was the first stand alone release, signifying the increasing popularity of the collaboration—as well as Supreme’s increasingly large seasonal offering.

One of the most celebrated releases of the past few years, the “By Any Means Necessary” capsule was the first The North Face collaboration to reference modern pop culture in Supreme’s trademark fashion. While originally coined by Jean-Paul Sartre in his iconic play Dirty Hands in regards to abolishing social classes, the phrase entered the modern canon during the last year of Malcom X’s life, during his famous speech arguing for fundamental human rights regardless of race. Heady historical and political history aside, the phrase appeared throughout the capsule in Supreme’s signature Futura Bold, gracing a Nuptse Puffer, Mountain Pullover, Basecamp Crimp Backpack, Basecamp Travel Canister and Winter Runner’s Glove. Arguably the most “Supreme” of the Supreme x The North Face collections, any “By Any Means Necessary” piece is iconic.

Already a ‘90s sportswear icon, The North Face’s Steep Tech collection was the stuff of streetwear legend. For Spring/Summer 2016, Supreme and The Force Face decided to revive the line for their seasonal collaboration. Available in an array of summer hues (teal, yellow and Supreme red), the collaboration included the iconic Steep Tech parka alongside a fleece, matching pant and crewneck all boasting vintage The North Face iconography as an ode to Steep Tech’s heyday. While nowhere near as successful as the prior season, for seasoned streetwear heads and ‘90s vintage collectors, the Supreme x The North Face Steep Tech parka is a classic.

At this point, a Nupste parka is Supreme x The North Face Fall/Winter de rigueur. For this season, the two introduced two new colorways, a hi-vis orange and a leafy camo, both of which helped sparked respective trends and led to numerous imitators. Alongside the Nupste was a Mountain jacket in the same colorways, a matching insulated hiking pant, three luggage pieces and an insulated boot—the first true footwear offering since Fall/Winter 2014 Thermoball mules.

The largest collection in years—not in terms of product variety but rather colorways—Spring/Summer 2017 primarily focused on Gore-Tex, the beloved proprietary material that was unfortunately overlooked for a number of seasons. Featuring a Gore-Tex Jacket, Gore-Tex Pant, Polartec Fleece, Big Haul Backpack and knit Headband (each available in the same five colorways) the massive collection, 25 distinct items in total, was a smash success, most likely due to the return of Gore-Tex. Apart from the usual color scheme (red, yellow, olive, black and red), each piece featured a US flag, now a Supreme x The North Face signature.

Noting the increasing popularity of each The North Face drop, and the increasingly large collections following a $500 million investment by the Carlyle Group, for the first time Supreme released two full The North Face collaborations during one season. While earlier seasons didn’t always include every piece in one drop—Spring/Summer 2017, for instance, dropped the crewnecks on a separate date than the Steep Tech jackets—this was the first instance of two entirely disparate collections within one season. The first drop was entirely focused around one material: leather. While the quilted leather Nuptse is a classic The North Face winter offering, this collection was the first to utilize The North Face’s proprietary water-resistant leather exterior. Alongside the Nuptse, a Roo II Lumbar Pack, Basecamp Duffel Bag and shearling-lined gloves all came wrapped in leather and were available in the same three colorways as the puffer: red/black, yellow/black and and tonal black.

The second drop was more substantial than the first–and more profitable, particularly for resellers. Similar to the “Map” and “Night/Day” graphics, the second Fall/Winter 2017 drop introduced the “Snowy Mountain” all-over print which appeared on tees, crewneck sweatshirts, 6-panel hat, Expedition backpack, Nuptse Blanket, Mountain Parka and the 700-fill down Baltoro jacket—a Supreme x The North Face first. One of the most successful drops ever, the Baltoro’s moved in droves and quickly eclipsed the leather Nuptse from earlier that season. Another seasonal highlight was a co-branded Supreme x The North Face box logo, a half-red half-yellow graphic featuring both brands that was strewn across the tees and sweatshirts. While nowhere near as popular as traditional box logos—or even collaborative box logos for that matter—it was a welcome addition to the collection.

Once again, this season focused on a specific material/color palette, in this instance, metallic. Utilizing a gold, rose gold and silver reflective water-resistant nylon coating, pieces including Mountain Parkas, ski-ready Mountain Bib Pants, Borealis Backpacks, Roo II Lumbar Packs and Shoulder Bags made as bold a statement as any Supreme statement piece in recent memory. Alongside the metallic nylon pieces, the drop additionally included a hooded sweatshirt and t-shirt featuring a liquid metal stylized The North Face logo. While obviously not as popular as the Fall/Winter 2017 dual branded box logo cotton basics, as with any collab, fans still eagerly snatched them up.

Similar to the prior season, Spring/Summer 2018 included two full capsules—and the second was a doozy. While small (only five items), this season’s pattern helped spark the animal print trend that persisted for the better part of a year. Utilizing a snake print (in grey/black and green/yellow), a Packable Coaches Jacket, Tape-Seamed Pant, Reversible Bucket hat and Medium Day Pack, Packable duffle bag one of the most outlandish Supreme accessories to date: a snakeskin print taped-seam Stormbreak tent. While the Coaches Jackets aren’t as popular (or pricey) as many other Supreme x The North Face outerwear pieces, the tent ranks as one of the most outlandish collaborative accessories in recent memory.

In line with the past few seasons, Fall/Winter 2018 also featured two full Supreme x North Face collaborations. For the first, leather once again took center stage, this time on a Mountain Parka, Six Panel Hat, Mountain Waist Bag and Shoulder Bag were all dripped in lush lambskin leather. As opposed to the Fall/Winter 2017 leather collaboration, this season focused on matte colors (blue, green, red and black), lacking the gloss of the 700-fill Nuptse. Yet, the construction and paneling was a noticeable improvement over the cow leather used for the collection just one year prior.

Similar to the previous year, the second collection was drastically different than the first. For this season, Supreme x The North Face dropped a colorblocked collection that harkened back to the earliest days of the collaboration. Available in three distinct colorways, the capsule focused on a water-resistant Gore-Tex cordura, which appeared on an Expedition Jacket, Expedition Fleece and an Expedition Pant. Apart from the bottoms and outerwear, an Expedition Wallet, Waistbag, Beanie and Compass all came in a matching color palette. Finally, a t-shirt and hooded sweatshirt featuring a dual-branded mountain graphic was available, but compared to this '90s-esque colorblocked outerwear, few fans seemed to care. Like prior seasons, the Parka and Fleece—released at the peak of the heavy pile trend—stole the show.

For the first time in three seasons, Supreme and The North Face opted for a single collaboration instead of the two-part drop we had grown accustomed to. Yet, considering the size of the collection, it didn’t really matter. A staggering 40 items—8 pieces each available in 5 colorways—the collection steered into the skid and slapped a Supreme arc logo front on center on every single item. Once again, like most Spring/Summer collections, the Mountain Parka was the highlight available (like everything else) in black, teal, yellow, purple and red. Matching Mountain Pants, Denali Fleece Jacket, 6-Panel Hat, Horizon Breeze Hat, Denali Fleece Blanket, Duffle Bag and even an organizer were all available in various quantities. For many fans of the collaboration, Spring/Summer 2019 felt like a miss—even with the ample amount of Gore-Tex and ballistic nylon spread throughout the collection. Considering the previous seasons, the simple designs felt a bit blase, however—like anything else Supreme–they sold out anyways.
