VF brands Vans and Timberland have teamed up to design a capsule together for the first time. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Vans’ iconic Half Cab, the two brands offer a brand new style based on Vans’ iconic model first released in 1992 and Timberland’s Euro Hiker boot, created in 1988. The result is half skate shoe and half boot, called the Vans Skateboarding x Timberland Half Cab Hiker. It features the familiar ⅝ cut upper of the Half Cab placed on a Euro Hiker boot outsole along with two-tone laces. The boot is made of canvas and Timberland’s premium leather with a ReBotl lining made of at least 50 percent recycled plastic. The shoes also feature a padded leather collar, a rubber outsole with lugs and Vans and Timberland’s shared branding.
As a second collab product comes a new take on Timberland’s premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boots, first introduced in 1973. The new style has been revamped by the Vans team, taking inspiration from streetwear, workwear and skate aesthetics, and features the brand’s signature checkerboard print.
The Vans Skateboarding x Timberland collaboration will be available from Dec. 20 via select Vans and Timberland stores, on Vans.com and on Timberland.com. The Half Cab Hikers are priced at US$160, while the 6-Inch Boot sells for US$230.
