Name: Timberland x Jacquemus Authentic Boat ShoeColorway: Brown Croc, Navy CrocSKU: TBCMSRP: $320 USDRelease Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: Timberland, JacquemusTimberland and Jacquemus reunite to reinterpret the 3-Eye Classic Lug silhouette into a collaborative Authentic Boat Shoe – giving the heritage silhouette a more polished, tactile finish through crocodile-embossed leather. The limited-edition release arrives in two colorways – “Brown Croc” and “Navy Croc” – each built from Premium Timberland leather embossed to mimic the raised texture of exotic hide.”Brown Croc” leans into the shoe’s traditional outdoor roots with a warm, earthy tone, while “Navy Croc” offers a cooler, more refined alternative that shifts the familiar boat shoe into dressier territory. The embossed surface adds depth across the otherwise classic upper, allowing the texture itself to become the dominant design feature rather than relying on overt contrast or graphic branding.The collaborative silhouettes retain the construction cues that have defined Timberland’s Authentic Boat Shoe since its 1978 introduction. A rugged rubber outsole grounds the design, while a soft leather lining and padded collar add comfort to the structured upper. Tonal Timberland tree branding keeps the look understated, and bespoke branded aglets introduce a subtle collaborative detail without interrupting the shoe’s clean profile. The result balances Timberland’s utilitarian heritage with Jacquemus’ more refined approach to material and proportion, recasting the classic boat shoe through the visual language of fine leather goods.

Name: Converse All Star Westernstitch SU HIColorway: Tan, BlackSKU: 31319430, 31319431MSRP: ¥17,600 JPY (approx. $110 USD)Release Date: October 23Where to Buy: Converse JapanConverse Japan has unveiled the All Star Westernstitch SU HI, a pattern-reworked version of its signature high-top that blends western boot detailing with the brand’s updated renewal-spec construction. The shoe trades the classic canvas for a suede upper, steering the familiar silhouette toward ranch-ready territory while keeping its recognizable shape intact.The design centers on decorative stitching drawn from western boots, which Converse pairs with star motifs that tie back to the All Star name. That ornamentation sits on a full suede upper, giving the sneaker the softer texture and heftier look of a boot rather than the lightweight feel of a canvas Chuck. A rubber outsole anchors the build, and the shoe arrives in two colorways, Tan and Black.Beneath the western styling, the Westernstitch SU HI adopts Converse’s renewal spec, a substantial internal overhaul of the All Star platform. Open-cell urethane foam, chosen for its resistance to flattening along with its breathability and cushioning, now lines not only the insole but also the inside of the heel, boosting comfort with every step. The insole itself has been updated to be fully removable, a practical change for anyone who prefers custom footbeds.Weight and fit get attention as well. The new construction trims about 60 grams per shoe compared with the previous version, measured on a single 26.5 cm pair, while a redesigned last and outsole improve fit and stability. A reworked outsole structure also adds flexibility, letting the shoe bend more naturally underfoot.
