Timberland and PANGAIA are collaborating on a new winter collection that combines pops of color with natural materials. The footwear release comprises a six-inch winter boot that is reimagined in ‘Galaxy Pink,’ ‘Palm Green,’ and ‘Wheat,’ and the ‘Fabric Slip-On Mule,’ which arrives in a plain white colorway. The footwear offerings have been crafted using responsibly-grown rubber, abaca plant fiber, and organic cotton. The mule incorporates Timberland’s signature ‘Timberloop’ design process and can be disassembled once it is no longer suitable for wearing. Timberland has also asked consumers to send the product back once they are no longer in use so that the brand can repurpose it for newer designs.
The PANGAIA x Timberland collaboration launches on November 3 at the Timberland website and select retail locations.
