Nike and Jacquemus are taking skiwear straight from the slopes to the chalet. They do so with a new 18-piece Nike x Jacquemus Après Ski apparel collection. It is built on triple layer GORE-TEX and technical layers. Plus, it has runway ready silhouettes. Rooted in performance yet styled for mountain nightlife, the drop channels Simon Porte Jacquemus’ love of vintage ’80s ski gear. This happens through a fresh fashion story for today’s ski and snowboard crowd.

A new après ski fashion story

Ski slopes and mountain chalets are the starting point for the Nike x Jacquemus Après Ski collection. It fuses technical innovation with Jacquemus’ playful, subversive design language.

“I have always been a fan of skiing: It’s my favorite sport and has been my favorite winter getaway since I was young,” says Simon Porte Jacquemus. “Ski attire has always fascinated me, and I’m a big collector of vintage ’80s ski pieces. This collection with Nike is an opportunity for me to bring a new fashion story into our collaboration and into the ski community, which is a first for me,” he adds.

  • The collection is described as a “playful world built around the mountain lifestyle,” balancing sport function with elevated styling.​
  • It is aimed at skiers, snowboarders, and anyone who identifies with the culture and nightlife of the mountains, not just performance athletes.

GORE-TEX outerwear at the core

At the center of the collection are triple layer GORE-TEX jackets and pants. They are designed to handle snowstorms, slope side cocktails, and everything in between. The hero piece is a two in one GORE-TEX jacket. It pairs a tailored outer shell with a removable insulated bomber.

  • The outer shell is water- and windproof, styled with exclusive Nike x Jacquemus detailing for a sharp, runway-ready profile.
  • The zip-in interior bomber uses Primaloft insulation, a Swoosh at the chest, and Jacquemus branding across the shoulders, with matching GORE-TEX pants featuring removable jacquard straps and signature J belt loops.

Womenswear from jumpsuit to bralette

On the women’s side, Nike and Jacquemus lean into body-conscious silhouettes that work on-piste and at après. A woven jumpsuit uses soft, stretchy, water-repellent fabric. It creates a slim, comfortable fit that can move from lift lines to late-night lounges.​

  • A versatile pair of leggings comes with an ultra-high waist, curved design lines, and stirrups at the hem, giving a sleek, elongated look for ski trips and winter city wear.
  • A lightweight, breathable bralette with a curved hem at the bust is designed as both a layering piece and a styled top for indoor après ski moments.

Menswear built for layering

Menswear focuses on smart layers that can flex between performance and leisure. A men’s long-sleeve top is built to work solo or as a mid-layer. It includes sport-inspired seams and mitten-ready thumb holes.

  • The classic Jacquemus men’s shirt is reworked in water-repellent fabric with a back J loop and chest pocket, tailored for both mountain settings and city outfits.
  • The overall men’s offer is designed to move seamlessly from runs on the mountain to dinners, bars, and chalet lounges without needing a full outfit change.

A growing Nike x Jacquemus universe

This Après Ski drop extends a partnership that began in 2022. Nike and Jacquemus mixed elevated silhouettes with athletic ready-to-wear. These were inspired by vintage Nike ACG and 1990s campaigns. Since then, the collaboration has included the Le Swoosh bag. Additionally, a summer 2024 Paris-focused collection was part of it. There was also a reimagining of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman’s hand-built Moon Shoe.

  • The Après Ski line reflects Simon’s goal of a minimal, modern execution using technical fabrics, which he describes as a “super interesting process” in the Jacquemus way.
  • The collection releases November 26 on jacquemus.com and in Jacquemus stores, followed by a December 3 launch on nike.com and at select Nike stores and retail partners, including Nike Women King’s Road and Nikelab P75 Paris.
