The North Face x Bigfoot
In a collaborative effort, The North Face and artist Bigfoot have come together for some limited edition products. Bigfoot has redesigned some staple TNF products, waterproof shell, tee, backpack, and duffel bag. It seems like this is only available in Asia... but the rumor-mill is grinding out some whispers of limited availability in NYC (of course). Stay tuned.
"In this exclusive Bigfoot X The North Face collection the key elements are the classic silhouettes from The North Face,such as the Balaclava Hoodie and Venture shell jacket,combined with some of my most iconic symbols and illustrations,to produce a message of the power of nature.The concept behind the design of this collection is to produce articles to make the wearer feel like they have entered an enchanted forest sanctuary,where they can become a Bigfoot and hold the power of the green lightning.The connection between Bigfoot and The North Face is the exploration of nature.The Bigfoots are masters of the forest,and in order for humans to explore at least a small percent of the forest,the right clothing and gear is needed to endure the elements and bring people closer to nature.I see this collaboration as a great match up between me and The North Face.I am excited for the people to have pieces from this collection to cherish,that will last a long time,and to help them experience nature." - Bigfoot (www.bigfootone.com)
