Timberland’s GORE-TEX Boot Is Fully Outdoor Equipped — Carabiners Included
Timberland’s EuroHiker model, a sturdy boot with rubber lug outsoles and a padded collar, has stood the test of time thanks to its reliability in the great outdoors. However, GRIP SWANY has taken the shoe’s ruggedness up a notch.
Decked out with hairy suede overlays and gold-colored lace hooks, the hard-wearing boot features a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane. And to make sure everyone knows the technical capabilities of your new boots, bold GORE-TEX branding is stamped on its heavy-duty mesh.
As well as having a leading manufacturer of waterproofing technologies on its side, these shoes come with a metal carabiner to conveniently hang the boots up with.
Plus, of course, there are the usual bells and whistles that come with a Timberland boot, such as its cushioned and shock-absorbing EVA footbed.
GRIP SWANY has made an already well-built boot that bit more tough. (Plus, textured suede is always a nice touch on any shoe.)
Releasing on October 24, this collaboration is currently only available at select Asian retailers (such as atmos). Two American workwear brands collaborating on an Asia-exclusive shoe — strange, right?
Well, despite being founded in 1848 to create gloves for miners in America, GRIP SWANY is now headquartered in Japan and operates out of the East Asian country — where it launches collaborations with the likes of White Mountaineering and Crocs. So, unfortunately, if you want to get your hands on a collaboration from these titans of American workwear, you’ll need to be in Asia.
However, many of us outside of Japan are already used to this kind of disappointment, this is just one of many great releases that are Japan-only.
