Timberland’s work boots are among the most iconic ever made. However, they’re also closely associated with hip-hop culture, especially across the Upper East Coast of the USA. There is something decidedly New Yorker about a clean pair of Timbs and a puffer jacket, no?

Well, that affiliation has just been turned on its head with a cross-continental style shift courtesy of the Timberland x Our Legacy Workshop 6-Inch Boot. This heritage, heirloom-level redux sees the iconic silhouette reimagined through a more PNW-like lens.

Coast to coast

The traditional version of this boot features a proprietary Timberland leather upper in a “Wheat” colorway (the brand’s signature yellowish hue) with a black padded collar. As you can tell, this one is very different.

Not only has the colorway been completely swapped for a more uniform “Acorn” colorway (on both the upper and the collar), but the material itself has been completely swapped out. Instead of Timberland’s house leather, this is Horween.

But it’s not just any Horween leather; it’s pebbled and full-grain, granting it a spectacular heritage look and texture — one that you could say is closer in its styling to the boots worn by loggers and adventurers in Washington, Oregon and even Alaska.

To further that style, the boot also gets the brand’s waterproof treatment and 400 grams of PrimaLoft insulation, so you can really wear them out in any weather or any time of year.

More outdoorsy than ever?

It’s not just the upper that has gotten a redux, either. The outsole has also been swapped out.

While the boot’s signature tread pattern remains, the material has been switched to Vibram, offering even more grip, slip-resistance and durability — another change that speaks to these boots’ outdoor nature.

Of course, this all-around ruggedness is to be expected from a collaboration with Swedish outfit Our Legacy Workshop, a brand known for its outdoor flair.

The boot also gets PET cable-style laces, an anti-fatigue removable footbed, a Premium Timberland leather-lined footbed and a fully-gusseted tongue.

The whole package puts a highly unique spin on what is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable boots in the world — one that seems more in line with Timberland’s competition at Red Wing or even a PNW staple like Danner. And it proves that, even after almost 75 years in business, Timberland is still a name to watch out for.

Availability and pricing

The Timberland x Our Legacy Workshop 6-Inch Boot is now available on the former brand’s site, starting at $340 per pair.
