Month: June 2023

Timberland on Monday revealed the third installment of its Future73 project — this time, in collaboration with Suzanne Oude Hengel, a knit researcher, technician, footwear designer and founder of Knit in Motion (KiM). Titled the “Timberland x Suzanne Oude Hengel Future73 Collection,” the range offers up the all-new Knitted Slip-On Clog and a fresh take on The Original Timberland Boot, as well as a slew of knit apparel.On the footwear front, the collection includes the Timberland x Suzanne Oude Hengel Future73 Knit 6-Inch Boot, which marks the first time that the signature silhouette has been done up in yarn, with a one-piece sculptural green knit upper and a protective TPU layer. Similarly, the Knit Clog takes a woven design approach, with a knit upper that conforms to the foot. For both, Hengel used the spacer fabrics that she has developed through her research.Meanwhile, the knitwear capsule utilizes an array of vibrant Italian yarn to produce something “unlike anything Timberland has ever done.” Across the range, a unisex SS Knit Tee features gradient kimono sleeves in colorways including orange, red and white or “Lime-Punch” and “Skylight.” Additionally, the Knit Base Layer and coordinating Knit Skirt appear in “Dark Denim,” offering a contrasting palette, and the multicolored birdseye jacquard-knitted Blanket Scarf arrives in extra fine merino wool.The Timberland x Suzanne Oude Hengel Future73 Collection will launch on June 6 on Timberland’s webstore and in the brand’s stores. Prices range from $150 USD to $350 USD. Peruse the range in the gallery above.Elsewhere, take a first look at the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf.

2023 nears its halfway point and Stüssy has proven once again why its the “king of collaborations.” Continuing its ongoing partnership with Nike, the duo has unearthed the Vandal — first equipping it with a previously-revealed “Royal Blue” colorway. Now, a complete look at the collection has surfaced ahead of its release later this week.In addition to its “Royal Blue” iteration, Stüssy and Nike have prepared looks in “Fossil” and “Black.” Equipped with hemp uppers and embroidered Swooshes, the three pairs offer retro appeal with a Stüssy-flavored finish. Unseen previously, special hook-and-loop ankle straps for each pair have been included alongside two extra colored laces to add additional levels of detail. Lastly, each of the three carries unique co-branding at the tongue tab, nodding to various classic Stüssy graphics.The initial launch of the Stüssy x Nike Vandal collection is scheduled to take place on June 9 via Stüssy and Dover Street Market at a price of $130 USD each. Following this, Nike is set to release pairs via its SNKRS platform on June 15. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stüssy (@stussy)Looking for more collaborative news in the footwear space?
