The Nike × Jacquemus Après Ski Collection presents an 18-piece winter capsule that merges vintage ’80s ski aesthetics with contemporary technical construction. The official release frames the collaboration as a study in contrast, balancing sculptural minimalism with functional performance layers designed for alpine conditions (Nike Newsroom).

Central to the drop are the triple-layer GORE-TEX jackets and pants, constructed for weather protection, breathability, and movement while maintaining Jacquemus’ signature clean lines and compact silhouettes. The brand’s product descriptions highlight the integration of technical shells, thoughtful pattern engineering, and winter-ready detailing elevated through a luxury design lens (Jacquemus).

Fashion media point to the collection as an evolution of the Jacquemus × Nike partnership, noting the way it positions alpine wear as both performance-oriented and visually refined. FashionNetwork describes the capsule as a continuation of Jacquemus’ growing engagement with sporty influences and high-function silhouettes adapted into the brand’s minimalist world (FashionNetwork). Hypebae similarly frames the release as a modern interpretation of après-ski dressing that brings technical credibility into a designer-driven aesthetic direction (Hypebae).

This direction aligns with Jacquemus’ recent expansion into sport culture, including his sponsorship of AS Charleval in his hometown—an indicator of how personal history, athletic references, and design precision intersect in the brand’s current creative phase (NSS Sports).

The result is a collection that reframes winter gear through a distinctly Jacquemus lens: technically grounded, visually restrained, emotionally nostalgic, and designed to function beyond the runway or chalet. It reinforces the collaboration’s central idea, performance can be minimal and minimalism can perform.
