Timberland and Hender Scheme's first collaboration.

For the first time together, Timberland and the renowned Japanese artisanal brand Hender Scheme join forces to reinterpret the iconic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe, a model that has always represented the fusion of comfort and style. Set to release on March 21, this collaboration brings an innovative approach and a design that combines tradition with modernity, thanks to the use of exclusive materials and refined details. The Timberland® & Hender Scheme Authentic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe is characterized by vegetable-tanned leather sourced from a local Japanese tannery, chosen for its premium quality and ecological process. This natural leather treatment not only preserves the authenticity of the material, but also allows for the creation of a unique patina, making each pair of shoes one-of-a-kind. The initial light beige hue of the leather gradually transforms into richer, deeper tones over time, offering a style statement that evolves with wear, becoming more personal.

One of the distinctive features of this collaboration is the incredible attention to detail, reflecting the artisanal spirit and innovation that characterizes both brands. The eyelets, traditionally made of metal, are here skillfully pressed into the leather, creating a barely perceptible yet striking visual effect. This innovative and delicate detail showcases Hender Scheme's mastery in working with leather, as well as highlighting the brand's philosophy of enhancing the natural beauty and versatility of materials. The shoes are completed with a leather tassel that adds a playful and distinctive touch to the design, while maintaining an elegant and refined feel. A perfect blend of tradition and avant-garde, coming together in a product that is both practical and aesthetically sophisticated.

The Timberland® & Hender Scheme collection will be available exclusively in Japan, at Hender Scheme stores and on the official henderscheme.com website. Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to acquire a pair of these exclusive shoes through a lottery, taking place from March 12 to 16, with the official release scheduled for March 21.
