Waterproof Mid-Top Boots

BEAMS and Timberland Collaborate Once Again on a Footwear Silhouette

— June 6, 2023 — Fashion
Japanese retailer BEAMS and Timberland have once again joined forces and for Summer 2023, the long-time collaborators are dropping a reimagined performance-driven mid-top boot. The silhouette—an "ankle-high moc-toed boot"—takes cues from the old-school Timberlands "that are no longer produced but remain popular in Japan." This BEAMS and Timberland collaboration, therefore, will also spark aesthetic interest from consumers.

The Summer 2023 footwear is also equipped with GORE-TEX lining, meaning that the shoe is fully waterproof. GORE-TEX is the most durable waterproof material out there and is bound to last a lifetime since it is technically not a finish but a laminate.

The highly anticipated BEAMS and Timberland Summer 2023 collaboration is expected to be available on the Japanese retailer's website on June 10th.
