# Hard-Wearing Streetwear Lugs Samuel Ross Teases the New A-Cold Wall X Timberland Collaboration By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-09-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acold-wall-x-timberland References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/a-cold-wall-timberland-3-eye-classic-lug-shoe/) & [timberland](http://timberland.com) Footwear designer Samuel Ross has teamed up with fashion label [Timberland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-boot) to launch A-Cold Wall x Timberland [3-Eye Classic Lug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toya-horiuchi-timberland). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-and-dr-martens), and ROA.
