The iconic workwear-streetwear brand tapped six creatives to reimagine the iconic six-inch boot.
, the look was his own: baggy oversized shorts, a white V neck tee , and classic Timbs, as they’re affectionately known, with thick white socks. A-Cold-Wall founder Samuel Ross remembers putting on his first pair at age 10 while visiting family in Barbados. “It was the first engagement, not really with the idea of luxury because I was ten, but with the idea of quality: how material can make you feel different,” says Ross. “It felt like I was part of a conversation, culturally and stylistically.
This week, Timberland is turning 50, and rather than dive into a past rich with pop culture hits and cultish reverence, the workwear-streetwear-adventurewear brand has invited six creatives — including Abney, Leon, and Ross; as well as technical menswear designer and Timberland Global Creative Director Christopher Raeburn, knitwear innovator Suzanne Oude Hengel, and Edison Chen, the founder of the streetwear brand CLOT — to reimagine the classic six-inch boot with an eye toward the future.
The six capsules give insight into the direction the brand plans on taking in the years to come. For one, apparel is a serious focus, perhaps for the first time for a label often synonymous with a single product. So are sustainability and community. Take Raeburn’s capsule: the designer scavenged army navy surplus stores to uncover discarded parachutes and tactical garments, giving the materials second life as futuristic outerwear. His boot is designed to be taken apart and recycled.
Ross, who made his capsule in Italy, delivered an elegant, minimal interpretation, stripping the shoe to its essential elements and subtly integrating the parts of himself that aligned with everything Timberland stands for. “When I think of Timberland, I think of craft; I think of this notion of tension and durability and sustenance—reconceptualizing modern masculinity,” he says. “How do we not distort an icon but also give the space for an icon to breathe? Timberland doesn’t need a new vibe.
