Aimé Leon Dore & The North Face release another killer capsule collection

If you’re a little tight on time but incredibly discerning on style and performance then the second drop from American dream duo Aimé Leon Dore and The North Face has all your bases (or should that be helicopter landing pads?) covered. A collection that’s comprised of TNF classics with that bougie Big Apple touch that ALD brings to the party, this magical Manhattan mix hits all the right notes when it comes to blending fashion with functionality. All killer and no filler, the 30 piece collection has even brought GoreTex back into the TNF picture (their first pair up since 2019) into features a fully rebuilt Mountain jacket 2000, a Pertex Nuptse, a tactical Ballistic vest, base camp mules and the inimitable Denali fleece. Though my personal faves and right at the very top of my ‘fastest fingers first’ hit list from this incredibly impressive release are the Wu Tang-esque fleece Earflap hats and the truly inspired, mind blowingly beautiful Fair Isle balaclava.
