Timberland Joins nonnative on the Euro Hiker Silhouette
References: highsnobiety
Timberland works in collaboration with nonnative as the duo highlights the Euro Hiker boot silhouette this time around. This partnership marks the second time that the two forces are joining after six years as they first launched a pair of boots back in 2017.
This time, the shoe is designed with militaristic themes that are ready for the outdoors. In terms of construction, the hiking boot is made from a blend of textured fuzzy suede, leather, and CORDURA for a touch of durability. Instead of using the usual GORE-TEX finish for a weatherized feel, the duo highlights the boot brand's ReBOTL material, which is eco-friendly and lines the silhouette. The shoes are set to drop on May 27th exclusively online on Cover Chord, KITH Tokyo, Timberland, and Vendor.
