# Pastel Pink Work Boots Ronnie Fieg Designed This Premium Timberland in Honor of Kith's Anniversary By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-12-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-timberland References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/12/ronnie-fieg-friends-and-family-premium-timberland) & [timberland](https://www.timberland.com/?jhbhj) Ronnie Fieg, a New York-based clothing and footwear designer and the current owner and operator of [Kith](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skywalk-vtx-boots), worked collaboratively to design a fresh premium [Timberland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-street-6inch-platform-waterproof-boot). Using the American outdoor specialist's '6-Inch Boot' silhouette, Ronnie Fieg utilizes pastel pink on the entirety of the upper, which is constructed from durable soft suede. This color is extended all the way through to the tongue, laces and the tag that dangles from them, making for a minimalist look that's simultaneously eye-catching. Rather than the traditional deep beige gum sole, Ronnie Fieg features a white lug sole on the premium Timberland. This brings a touch of contrast to the boot, working well with the pastel pink and the silver accents that decorate it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Pastel Pink Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new color palettes and materials to create unique and eye-catching footwear designs. - **Collaborative Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster collaborations between fashion designers and outdoor specialists to create premium and exclusive products. - **Minimalist Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop minimalist designs that combine simplicity and elegance for a modern and attention-grabbing appeal. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unconventional colors and materials in fashion design to create unique and personalized garments. - **Outdoor Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to offer premium and limited-edition products that cater to fashion-conscious outdoor enthusiasts. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with alternative sole materials and designs to create footwear that combines comfort, style, and durability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-street-6inch-platform-waterproof-boot.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Reworked Heritage Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-x-timberland.md) - [Collaborative Work Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-pro-x-pabst-blue-ribbon.md) - [Metallic-Adorned Rugged Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veneda-carter-4.md) - [Ultra-Durable Urban Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skywalk-vtx-boots.md) - [Premium Collaborative Glazed Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veneda-carter-3.md) - [Gamer Heritage Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-x-sega.md) - [Workwear-Themed Fashion Team-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-4.md)
