Timberland 6 in. Boot “Día De Los Muertos” | Timberland

The Timberland 6 in. Boot “Día De Los Muertos” is a striking, symbolic footwear piece paying homage to the beloved tradition of Día de Muertos, a festival that celebrates and remembers those who have passed away.

This limited-edition creation was designed by Timberland Associate Designer Dimitri Fonti, who drew inspiration from his own experiences and Mexican heritage.

The boot features elaborate designs of sugar skulls, flowers, butterflies, and details that glow in the dark, which enhance the overall silhouette. Adorned in rich purple tones, the boot’s upper is made from Timberland’s signature waterproof premium nubuck leather.

The bright embellishments, ranging from the lace loops to the stitching, capture the lively essence of the holiday while also honoring its profound cultural importance.

Fonti spoke about his personal connection to the piece, saying, “The inspiration for the Día de Muertos boot came from my experience starting as a footwear design apprentice at Timberland nearly two years ago.

When I first started, I was struck by the incredible people here —much like my own family in Mazatlán, Mexico —they are supportive, openhearted, and always encouraging of my ideas. I wanted this boot to exude a sense of community and inclusivity, while also sharing my culture.”

To commemorate the launch, Timberland will be hosting a block party in Jackson Heights, Queens, on October 26 from noon to 4 p.m. Guests can explore the ofrenda shrine and participate in free activities such as face painting and arts and crafts, making it a family-friendly event celebrating cultural appreciation.

The gathering will also include food from Don Munchies, ice cream by Nieves Cortez, screen printing, photo opportunities with Timberland’s iconic giant boot, music by DJ Hello Tones, and a lowrider car show.

The Timberland 6 in. Boot “Día De Los Muertos” is now available for purchase at $210 via Timberland.com and select retailers.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
