Timberland Taps Supreme to Update 6-Inch Boot in New Colorways
Timberland is teaming up with Supreme to rework the brand’s beloved 6-inch Premium Waterproof boot.
The resulting collaborative boot is imbued with oodles of streetwear swagger and comes in three distinct colorways, including a bright pink, black and a classic tan, offering prospective buyers a variety of colorful options. The ankle-length style is crafted of water-repellant premium nubuck with an embossed pattern akin to a tread plate design or textural metal.
Additional details include sleek coordinating lace-up closures, metal rivets, contrasting rugged stitching, cozy padded leather collars and durable rubber outsoles, embossed logo detailing on the heels and a Supreme logo tag up above it. Co-branding can be found all throughout the silhouette, including the insoles and hangtags.
Timberland is a global outdoor and workwear-inspired brand that aims to inspire and equip consumers to step outside, work hard together and move the world forward. Based in Stratham, New Hampshire, Timberland also has international operations in Stabio, Switzerland and Shanghai, China.
The brand is best known for its iconic yellow work boot, the Original Timberland boot. The utilitarian boot was introduced in 1973 and was made to take on the harsh elements of New England. Today, Timberland today offers a full range of footwear, apparel, and accessories to choose from. The brand is widely recognized as the arbiter of boot culture.
Timberland has collaborated with the popular streetwear brand on multiple occasions, allowing the streetwear brand to interpret a variety of the footwear brand’s fan-favorite silhouettes. These instances included in 2015 and 2007. Beyond Supreme, Timberland has collaborated with Off-White, Concepts, Stüssy, Ronnie Fieg and Drake’s OVO label.
Timberland and Supreme’s 6” Premium Waterproof boot will be available for purchase globally via Supreme on Thursday and Saturday on 11 a.m. JST in Japan and Seoul.
