    A collaboration line produced by nanamica as a derivative line of THE NORTH FACE for the Japanese market. It adapts the brand’s signature outdoor elements to designs and material choices for urban living, and is developed through Japan-specific distribution and planning. Its planning and operations are separate from the regular lines of the global parent company (under VF), and despite sharing an urban focus, it has a different origin from UNLIMITED (planned by Goldwin).
