Footwear designer Samuel Ross has teamed up with fashion label Timberland to launch A-Cold Wall x Timberland 3-Eye Classic Lug. The new shoe offers a reimagined take on Timberland's 3-Eye Classic Lug -- a unique silhouette for Ross to remake, considering most shoppers associate Timberland with its iconic six-inch boot.
Currently, the new shoe has only been teased by Ross on his Instagram. But based on these early teaser images, it appears the revamped 3-Eye Classic Lug has been made to be extra hard-wearing. The all-black shoe features a GORE-TEX tag on the side and appears to come equipped with a ripstop fabric along its uppers.
The new A-Cold Wall x Timberland collaboration marks yet another high-profile partnership for Ross, who has previously worked with big-name brands such as Nike, Dr. Martens, and ROA.
