Revitalized Thick-Laced Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These New Timberlands Were Created with Opening Ceremony's Input

— October 31, 2016 — Fashion
With winter coming up, a number of new Timberland updates have been surfacing -- one of the latest coming from a collaborative effort with Opening Ceremony.

Taking the classic '6" Boot' silhouette, the global fashion retailer swaps the normally suede upper with clean premium leather in varying tones of beige. Looking to bring even more of a fresh element to the well-loved design, Opening Ceremony gives the cuff of the boot a rougher texture and changes out the usual laces for much thicker ones as well.

Standing out from the rest of the colorway, the tongue of the new Timberlands is a rich chocolate brown, which carries the curator's branding in an elegant fashion. Meanwhile, Timberland's logo is shown in its traditional placement, making the collaborative effort known.
