For The North Face, exploration is oxygen and creating adventure essentials is as easy as breathing.
Few logos are as iconic as the Half Dome. An ode to Yosemite’s Half Dome mountain, it’s a celebration of what you’ve achieved and the challenges that lie ahead. Named after the coldest, most formidable side of the mountain, North Face has been empowering explorers to push the boundaries of possibility since 1966, when Doug Tompkins, a young climber, founded a humble shop in San Francisco - and with it a revolution.
Catch the Half Dome throughout SneakersbeShops’s The North Face women’s collection, detailing everything from women’s jackets and fleeces, retro bucket hats and cosy beanies, to women’s tees and sweats. The emblem also adorns The North Face’s Circular range, a more sustainable collection that’s designed to be easily recycled.
Check out womenswear mainstays like the 1989 women’s Denali jacket, a lightweight yet exceptionally warm fleece. Or the legendary women’s Nuptse jacket, which was first released in 1992 and named after the Tibetan ‘west peak’, Everest’s neighbour. Technical prowess aside, the Nuptse is also a streetwear icon, famously co-opted by hip-hop artists in ‘90s NYC.
In 1977, long before streetwear made it cool, The North Face deployed GORE-TEX® technology to keep skiers warm and dry in harsh conditions. In 2014, North Face created the Responsible Down Standard to improve animal welfare. Driven by the mantra ‘Never Stop Exploring™’, The North Face is constantly innovating to uncover new ways to make a difference to people and the planet.
