Timberland is no stranger to working with partners from across the globe. Previously, we’ve seen the iconic boot makers partner with Tokyo-based brand nonnative on Field Boot, which dropped back in 2023. They’re reprising the partnership and applying a similar color palette to a Gore-Tex-covered version of the 6-Inch Lace-Up Boot.
The pair, featuring a hairy suede, Gore-Tex-coated upper in a light tan shade, is inspired by the Urahara/Harajuku street fashion movement of the ‘90s. This period of Japanese fashion saw the birth and upbringing of many different legendary designers, such as Hiroshi Fujiwara, NIGO, Jun Takahashi, and Shinsuke Takizawa, all of whom have gone on to shape not just Japanese streetwear but the global fashion scene as a whole. In particular, the movement saw many American workwear brands become popular, especially Timberland.
