Streetwear brand Supreme worked in collaboration with Timberland on a new iteration of Timberland's signature World Hiker Front Country boot silhouette designed specifically for the Winter 2018 season. The latest design is complete with branding accents: to represent Timberland is a tree motif over the tongue and the ankle area as a debossed detail and the signature red Supreme logo on the side of the silhouette.
Additional elements include the GORE-TEX leather construction in order to deliver waterproof elements, an outsole crafted from Vibram rubber for traction and a seam-sealed construction to tackle the wet weather. The new boots have three colorway options in total -- orange, silver and black, with the inclusion of two additional lace sets.
