The North Face Expanding in NYC

The outdoor giant opens a new store and expands flagship

The North Face

The North Face is perhaps the biggest name in the outdoor space. They have helped thousands of people climb mountains, hike the wilderness, and explore the unknown. While they began in California with stores in San Francisco and Stanford (with Grateful Dead playing at an opening, no less), they eventually landed a flagship store in Manhattan to capture the urbanites’ imagination and spark their spirit of adventure. Now, the company is expanding that flagship store and adding a new store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to widen their already large footprint even more.

More for NYC in 2025

The iconic outdoor brand’s first Williamsburg store concept will feature a dedicated Renewed shop-in-shop, hardware, and nature-inspired elements. The store will offer customers a robust product assortment highlighting the best of snowsports, men’s, women’s, kids, and accessories, including footwear, a critical growth area for the business. The expansion of the Manhattan store will feature 20,000 square feet of The North Face and keep the store rooted in the city.

“The North Face has been a well-worn uniform for New Yorkers throughout the streets of this great city for years. We are thrilled to be expanding our presence with our newest retail location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn,” says Caroline Brown, Global Brand President. “Inspired by the core elements of mountaineering, where we were born in 1966, this location will offer pieces that work from the mountain to the street and is the first of our US stores to house a dedicated curation of our Renewed products. More to come in 2025 for The North Face and New York.”

SATISFY and Oakley release next chapter in collaboration
Merging Innovative Eyewear with High-Performance Apparel

Brian Partouche was inspired to start SATISFY in 2015 after becoming addicted to running and feeling that no activewear brands represented him and who he was. He was drawn to the idea that running is a personal experience, similar to skateboarding and snowboarding, which he enjoyed growing up. Oakley started in 1975 by creating motorcycle grips that innovated the industry and they have been revolutionizing the sports eyewear for the last five decades. The French running company has collaborated with the revered California sunglasses brand for the fourth time to bring the newest chapter of an ongoing partnership that brings innovation without compromising technical superiority. SATISFY and Oakley release their next step in collaboration.
A continuing collaboration

The brands introduce Plantaris: Precision in Every Detail. There are two primary products in their newest drop, a pair of sunglasses and a tee.

Wrangler revives iconic denim mill
Iconic mill revived by western brand for legendary throwback
wrangler cone white oak selvedge

Some things just work together: beer and pizza, chocolate and peanut butter, Tom and Jerry, Hall and Oats. You get the idea. Wrangler is one of the most well-known brands in the jeans industry due to its innovation and stranglehold in the Western industry. The choice of cowboys everywhere, Wrangler is a brand that works as hard as you do. Cone Denim and its White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, is the kind of legend you have never heard of. Unless, of course, you are in the industry yourself. They built what Levis came up with, and until they shut down a few years ago, were a mainstay of the denim industry. Now, Wrangler Cone White Selvedge is the new line from both brands that gives beer and pizza a run for its money.
Reviving an iconic mill for a limited edition

Reaching deep into its archives and opening the vault for the pleasure of the brand's true fans, Wrangler revives some of the last remaining yarn loomed at the Cone Denim White Oak plant to recreate an icon. Creating a new classic Cowboy Cut jeans and trucker jacket inspired by Rodeo Ben (the brand's first-ever celebrity who designed clothing for them), they have a new look sure to give any Wrangler fan the warm and fuzzies for years to come. The jeans fit like they would have been for cowboys at the brand's height, made to be rolled and cuffed like any good selvedge. The updated jacket comes with contrasted stitching and two chest pockets.

We all have seen the commercials of the grandfather giving the grandson Werther's Original and both of them eating the caramel candy with joy. We may have even experienced the same enjoyment. Ever since, millennials have branded the candy as the candy of our fathers and grandfathers. The truth is, we all love the candy, and we're unashamed by it. Now, we can show our love for the fan-favorite caramel by entering a contest to win a pair of one-of-a-kind jeans featuring 30 pockets, each of which is the perfect size to hold one tasty treat. The contest celebrates National Caramel Month (we didn't know it was a thing either). 200 lucky winners can walk around with the sweetest pair of jeans on the street.
Making use of the tiny pocket

“The inspiration for these exclusive jeans came from the age-old question: what are these tiny pockets in jeans used for?” said Kelly Cook, president of Storck, North America. “The answer has always been right in front of us—Werther’s Original caramels. Our caramels are the perfect size and don’t melt, making them the ideal fit for these tiny pockets."
