As part of Louis Vuitton’s workwear capsule for Fall/Winter 2024, a collaboration with Timberland boots will lead the French luxury brand’s Western-inspired line.
Hypebeast has exclusively obtained details on the collaboration highlighting the French house’s latest partnership with the American footwear brand. The new co-branded boots are made from premium Italian nubuck leather and retain the construction of Timberland’s legendary silhouette. The collaboration will only feature two designs, but each will be released in a variety of styles. Each shoe features a padded collar and soft footbed for added comfort. Ensuring ample support and versatility in a variety of weather conditions, the boots are also waterproof and feature a rubber lug outsole. Ideal for cold conditions and rugged expeditions, the boots are lined with warm, down-free PrimalLoft insulation.
The new LV 6 boots resemble the original Timberland 6-inch boots. The collaboration features subtle touches of Louis Vuitton’s house codes throughout. The iconic LV monogram is embossed all over, and the pattern is also featured on the tongue, eyelets, and leather tag. The other LV boot is a bolder, chunkier edition of the 6-inch boot, expanding the shoe by 15% to give it a bolder aesthetic. Louis Vuitton is launching the chunky version in four styles: pull-on harness boots, pull-on mid boots, ankle boots, and ranger boots. Both the LV 6 boots and the LV boots come in black or wheat colors. These pairs will cost between $2,400 and $2,900, about $2,000 more than a regular Timberland pair.
The release also includes a “special edition” six-inch ankle boot monogrammed in the signature LV pattern, limited to just 50 pairs. The exterior is crafted from premium Italian leather, with a customized rubber lug outsole and 18k gold hardware. Gold highlights the LV initials on the tongue, which bear menswear creative director Pharrell Williams’ words, “The sun is shining on us,” the exact words he spoke before his debut show as Louis Vuitton’s new creative leader. The special edition boots will retail for over $80,000 and come packaged in a leather and plexiglass box.
