Being a hard-wearing workwear shoe might’ve made @timberland’s 6-inch boot the undisputed footwear icon it is today. ⁠ ⁠ However, over 50 years after its inception, the original yellow boot is exploring different design avenues.⁠ ⁠ Long retired from dusty construction sites, replaced by a new generation of more advanced footwear, the rugged boot is becoming increasingly luxurious — fashionable collaborations and $3,000 price tags in tow. And its most recent redesign is evidence of this. ⁠ A newly puffed-up take on the iconic 6-Inch Boot has arrived from ⁠ ⁠ Timberland, bearing the same distinctive shape as its predecessor but with some drastic changes.⁠ ⁠ First of all, this shoe’s upper is built entirely of full-grain leather (it’s even lined in the top-of-the-line material!) replacing its typical nubuck leather build.⁠ ⁠ However, the most notable upgrade on this luxe boot is its puffy construction, stuffing the upper panel of the boot with PrimaLoft 400g insulation. ⁠ ⁠ Naturally, upgraded materials and puffy insulation raise the retail price of this boot. The shoe, which is available to shop now, retails for US$250. ⁠ ⁠ ✍️: @toombarker⁠ 📷️: @sneakerpolitics #hskicks
