Although many brands are winding down for the season, the opposite has been true for Timberland. Rather than slowing down, the boot brand is ramping up on the seasonal offerings with new collaborations and styles that will round out any seasonal wardrobe. Adding to their already busy lineup, Timberland is joining forces with Italian boutique One Block Down for three new iterations of the brand’s 6-Inch Waterproof Boot. For this release, the duo is taking its inspiration from natural elements for a complete collection. With colorways named “Earth”,” Sky”, and “Water,” this collection’s direction is more than clear. As with previous collaborators, Timberland has lent its iconic design, which sees premium craftsmanship and materials. While the pair hasn’t changed the boot design drastically, the new concept elevates the look with a thoughtful design.
Timberland and One Block Down bring natural elements to winter
Using Timberland’s “winter, water, earth, and sky” apparel branding as the base concept for the collaborative design, the look for the Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot is clear. Crafted from premium pull-up leather, the boot doesn’t just look stylish; it also features a convenient feature. When the boot bends and flexes through wear, the leather lightens at the crease points, giving it a customized look over time. According to the brand, this leather adds character to the design, rather than damaging the material. Each iteration takes a different shade inspired by one of the elements. The blue style takes on the “celestial” Sky, the dusty brown tone “reflects the strength and dynamism” of Water. Lastly, Earth is represented by the orange-toned boot, symbolizing the land’s “strength and stability.” Each version dons a subtle One Block down branding, while the Timberland tree remains on the lateral side. The One Block Down x Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boots are available exclusively through OneBlockDown.com for $227.94 each.
