To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the iconic TIMBERLAND brand invited 6 world-renowned creatives to put their spin on the legendary premium 6-Inch boot. Among the members of this ‘TIMBERLAND Future73’ design project, CLOT founder Edison Chen has reworked this iconic pair and presents us with an exclusive collaborative capsule.

This collection includes the Timberloop™ 6-inch Boot in 2 colorways and a 7-piece apparel capsule : the Kimono Chore Coat, a quilted sleeveless vest, cargo pants with graphic embroidery, an overshirt also with graphic embroidery, a hoodie, a t-shirt and a loose scarf.

The CLOT x Timberland® Future73 collaboration pieces evoke the 2 brands’ shared commitment to eco-innovation.

Edison Chen explained : “Being able to work with Timberland® on Future73 has been an exciting adventure. Trying to find ways to create products in a more intellectual way, with a perspective of loving the Earth, speaks not only to children, but to children’s children”. Edison also confided that as a hip hop fan, he has always had an admiration for Timberland and its impact in street culture.

The famous Hong Kong designer has applied circular design for the 1st time ever to the Timberland® Premium 6-Inch Boot. The Timberloop™ consists of at least 50% regenerative agriculture 1st quality materials, with 70% of the leather upper and 55% of the rubber outsole sourced from farms committed to regenerative agriculture practices, helping to restore our environment. Specifically designed to be recycled at the end of its life, the sole is sewn to the upper so that it can be easily removed.

In terms of design, the boot, available in Wheat or Vine Leaf Green, features panels with a black tiger camo pattern, in homage to the king of the jungle. To complete the look, an embroidered phrase surrounds the upper. It’s a Buddhist proverb of peace and mindfulness, which states that no being can exist independently, and thus symbolizes the common thread of this special collab.

This tiger pattern and Buddhist phrase also stand out on the textile pieces of the collection. They are true to CLOT’s “East-meets-West” creative DNA and feature a design philosophy guided by emotion and history. In a vine leaf green color, the garments match perfectly with the boots. They ensure the look is inspired by military uniforms, or more specifically, an “urban ninja” as Edison Chen calls it. Some pieces, such as the vest and scarf, are adorned with a stitching pattern reminiscent of Chinese craftsmanship and giving a quilted effect. The shirt, kimono and hoodie feature small bows typical of Edison Chen’s heritage.

The CLOT x Timberland® Future73 limited collection will be released on March 30, 2023 at JUICE stores worldwide and on juicestore.com. Be ready !

To celebrate the launch of Part 1 of this Future73 collection, CLOT and TIMBERLAND co-hosted an event on March 24 at JUICE Central where guests could view and purchase exclusive pieces from this special collection. The collaborative creations of each of the other 5 designers (Samuel Ross, Suzanne Oude Hengel, Humberto Leon, Christopher Raeburn and Nina Chanel Abney) are also on display until April 5, 2023.
