While the design is modeled after the 3-Eye Classic Lug Boat, the newly released “Clear Eye Classic Lug” from Timberland and Toya Horiuchi offers a unique spin on a timeless shoe. Featuring premium leather, translucent side panels, and distinct blue-green laces, this design is an elevated statement design of one of Timberland’s most sophisticated shoes. Inspired by New York, the boat shoe also includes gold-tone lace tips for an extra touch of extravagance. With only 30 pairs released, there’s no doubt that the boat shoe will become a rare gem for collectors and fans alike. Along with this release, the duo has also launched two limited-edition graphic t-shirts with only 50 of each being available for purchase. Those looking to grab a pair can try their luck at Timberland’s Boutique in Tokyo and select retailers.

The Western trend is alive and well, especially with brands releasing new aptly themed designs. Along with streetwear brand Packer, Timberland is taking on the Western trend with a remake of one of their silhouettes that turns a classic model into a Southwest-American piece. With plenty of themed accents and details incorporated into the design, this new release pays homage to an essential part of the adventurous culture. Although the Western trend is mostly incorporated via boots and rugged footwear, this collaborative shoe turns a classic shoe into a Western option. An ode to creativity and craftsmanship, this release isn’t just about its aesthetic. Including Indigenous culture into the design, this shoe has been carefully curated to reflect the heritage of the Southwest.

Following their first collaboration in 2024, Reebok and White Mountaineering are reuniting for another stellar partnership. Along with the Japanese label, Reebok is taking on their famed Classic Leather for a remix that gives it a retro update with plenty of techy finishes. Far from their minimalist and subdued first partnership, this new collaborative sneaker takes a new spin with stylish details that elevate an iconic silhouette. The latest collaboration in two new neutral shades is another example of how the retro sneaker trend has continued flourishing and doesn’t seem to have an end date. Showcasing their “Unplugged” campaign, the duo’s new release is about being intentional with your time and style choices.

“Our brand is often associated with active scenes, but this time, we wanted to show how our collaboration shoes fit a more relaxed environment,” says White Mountaineering founder Yosuke Aizawa. “The soft mood of the campaign perfectly complements the color palette of the shoes.” Crafted in brown or grey shades, the WM x Reebok Classic Leather shoe uses an upper composed of a premium leather, suede, and nubuck mix. Contrasting trims around the design give the shoe an extra touch of dimension and style, along with the texturized materials that compose the sneaker. Complete with a custom co-branded tongue label, branding wordmark on the heel, and a custom footbed, this design represents the specialness of the collaboration. Further sneaker details include terry lining, tonal laces, and a custom branded shoe box. Set for an April 11 release, the remixed Classic Leather will be available for $190 on the White Mountaineering and Reebok web stores.
