The Vans x Timberland collection has been unveiled as the first collaboration between the brands that promises to support the needs of avid hikers and lifestyle enthusiasts alike.
The collection includes the Half Cab Hiker, which are both observed in several finish options to choose from. The Half Cab Hiker is made with canvas and premium leather, and has the brand's ReBOTL lining that's constructed out of 50% recycled plastic. The Six-Inch Boot showcases a strong construction that's ready to handle the rigors of winter in the city and beyond.
The Vans x Timberland collection is slated to launch December 20, 2022 at both brands' retail locations as well as online. The Half Cab Hikers will be available for $160 and the six-inch Boot will be priced at $230.
