COLE NAVIN X 

THE NORTH FACE

Fall/ Winter 2023 Energy Capsule

INTENT

approach to creation

“Creating artwork is fulfilling the same need in creation that I seek in snowboarding. It’s a proof to me that exploration is equally as much of an internal process as it is something physical."

Cole Navin

The freeride collection has been established and thrives through authenticity.

Bringing in Cole Navin, an athlete and artist, is a meaningful way to double down on this commitment to authenticity. Navin brings a unique perspective to the collection, infusing his signature artwork with the spirit of adventure and exploration that is at the heart of The North Face's brand. By incorporating his artwork into the collection, Navin is able to tell a story that goes beyond just the gear itself, adding depth and meaning to every piece.

INSPIRATION

merging environments

At its heart, Freeride is a true blend of both worlds - the snowboarding on mountain environment and the urban metro streets. TNFs rich history in both of these worlds to this date makes the Freeride consumer not only outfit for both areas equally as expressive but also drive inspiration from each. Outfitting options are functional where needed and stylish where wanted. 

The capsule show cases artwork that evolved from a mix of urban and mountain environments. It has its deeper meaning and roots in the snowboard and street scene.
