# Revitalized Thick-Laced Boots These New Timberlands Were Created with Opening Ceremony's Input By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-10-28 | Updated 2016-10-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-timberland References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/10/opening-ceremony-timberland-convenience-collection) & [openingceremony](https://www.openingceremony.com/?f) With winter coming up, a number of new [Timberland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-3) updates have been surfacing -- one of the latest coming from a [collaborative effort with Opening Ceremony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier-x-timberland). Taking the classic '6" Boot' silhouette, the global fashion retailer swaps the normally suede upper with clean premium leather in varying tones of beige. Looking to bring even more of a fresh element to the well-loved design, Opening Ceremony gives the cuff of the boot a rougher texture and changes out the usual laces for much thicker ones as well. Standing out from the rest of the colorway, the tongue of the new Timberlands is a rich chocolate brown, which carries the curator's branding in an elegant fashion. Meanwhile, Timberland's logo is shown in its traditional placement, making the collaborative effort known. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Premium Leather Boots:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry by using premium leather and unique design elements. - **Rough Texture Cuff:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by incorporating rough textures into clothing and accessories. - **Thicker Laces:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry by introducing thicker laces for enhanced style and functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore disruptive innovations in design and materials to create unique and fashionable products. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from disruptive innovations in texture and design to offer customers new and exciting clothing options. - **Collaborative Retail:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the retail industry by collaborating with different brands to create exclusive and innovative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revamped Luxury Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot.md) - [Textured Winter-Ready Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-3.md) - [Reworked Heritage Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-x-timberland.md) - [Workwear-Themed Fashion Team-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-4.md) - [Premium Collaborative Glazed Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veneda-carter-3.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Refined Field Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-boots-gtx.md) - [Inflated Collar Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puff-boot.md) - [Rugged Collaborative Trail Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-mash-field-boot-gtx.md)
