Get ready for a boot upgrade that's sure to turn heads! The iconic Timberland Premium 6-Inch Boot is back with a bang, this time collaborating with Avirex, a legendary leather brand.
While Timberland has been known for its extreme makeovers in recent months, this upcoming collaboration takes a more classic approach, focusing on texture and branding. Say goodbye to the usual yellow nubuck, and hello to a luxurious tumbled leather finish, reminiscent of an aged Avirex leather jacket - a true vintage lover's dream!
The boot's collar features a unique croc-embossed padded leather, with the iconic Avirex 'A' logo stitched on, adding a touch of sophistication. The midsole showcases further custom branding with the stamped Avirex wordmark. And if that's not enough, the boots come with two sets of shoelaces - the traditional brown-and-yellow combo, and an orange alternative for those who dare to be different.
Avirex, founded in 1975 by Jeff Clyman, has a rich history as a military apparel brand, but it found its way into street style in the 1990s. Despite its long-standing popularity, the brand has seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks to the vintage fashion trends of the '90s and 2000s.
On the other hand, Timberland's Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot has stood the test of time, defying trends and maintaining its popularity year after year. This year, Timberland has collaborated with some big names, including Supreme, One Block Down, and Snipes, and even released luxurious editions with Horween Leather Co. But here's where it gets controversial... Timberland also released an $85,000 version of its Louis Vuitton collaboration, featuring 18K gold hardware!
The Avirex x Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot will be available on December 15th from timberland.com and select retailers, including DTLR. Mark your calendars, as this collaboration is priced at $225 and is sure to be a hot commodity.
