THE NORTH FACE

Urban Exploration 2026 Fall/Winter

THE NORTH FACE Urban Exploration's 2026 Fall/Winter collection was designed by Naohiro Fujisaki, designer of meanswhile.

Themed around the “Middle Way,” the season draws on a deep consideration of nature and focuses on functionality that dissolves the boundary between city and nature to create a neutral state.

Continuing to build on the functionality and layering of outdoor wear from the previous season, this season reflects meanswhile's restrained design and urban sensibility more deeply.

Through a Nuptse down jacket that renders THE NORTH FACE's iconic color blocking as a gradation, the varied volumes created by shells and insulation, combinations of different materials, and calm silhouettes, outdoor functionality is brought naturally into everyday city life.

The collection is also structured so that it is not limited to a particular environment or style, allowing a wide range of looks through layering and combination.

The outdoor expertise THE NORTH FACE has cultivated, and the meanswhile philosophy that “clothing is a tool, not a costume.”

With the perspectives of both brands intersecting more deeply than ever, the collection proposes a new urban outdoor style for moving freely between nature and the city.


*This collection will be available globally, excluding Japan and Korea.
