The much-talked-about winter collab between Nike and Jacquemus is finally here, an 18-piece “Après Ski” collection that fuses technical mountain performance with high-fashion polish. At the heart of the drop are triple-layer GORE-TEX jackets and pants built for real slope conditions, snowstorms, wind, cold, yet finished with clean tailoring and subtle Nike x Jacquemus detailing, making them equally suited to slope-side cocktails or urban winter streets.
The line doesn’t stop at outerwear. Among the standout pieces are a women’s water-repellent jumpsuit, high-waisted stirrup leggings with a matching bralette, and a men’s long-sleeve technical top that works as a thermal layer or standalone piece. The classic Jacquemus men’s shirt is also reimagined for alpine use, treated in weather-proof fabric with functional belt loops and a modern silhouette. For anyone looking to bring ski-resort style back to city winterwear, this collection offers a rare balance of utility and elegance.
The collaboration marks a major evolution for both brands. For Jacquemus, a house known for its runway minimalism and sensual tailoring, this is the first time entering skiwear. For Nike, it’s another bold step merging sport, lifestyle, and fashion. As founder and designer Simon Porte Jacquemus said: skiing has long been his passion, and his collection with Nike was a chance “to bring a new fashion story into the ski community.”
The Nike x Jacquemus Après Ski collection dropped on November 26 at Jacquemus stores and jacquemus.com, with a second wave launching December 3 on nike.com and select retail partners globally.
