[Update 17 Jan 2024] With Paris Fashion Week well underway, preview the entire lineup of Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton x Timberland lineup in the gallery above!

Louis Vuitton partners with workwear quintessence Timberland for a reimagined take on the legendary 6-Inch Boot. Seen through the @skateboard Instagram window, Pharrell’s creative playground at LV, this collaboration isn’t a radical makeover, but a love letter to the boot’s enduring legacy.

Subtle nods to Louis Vuitton’s heritage dot the periphery: a laser-etched logo on the tongue, a whisper of the iconic monogram on the back and heel, and co-branded hangtags tying it all together.

This unexpected pairing comes as no surprise under Pharrell’s streetwise guidance. His recent Spring/Summer 2024 show saw Parisian runways morphing into NYC sidewalks, with pieces like pixelated camo Damier and mega-logo Speedy bags blurring the line between haute couture and downtown cool.

Timberland inspirations have already been scattered throughout LV collections, from Pharrell’s Checker ankle boot to the rugged Ranger Ankle Boot. But the Louis Vuitton x Timberland 6-Inch Boot collaboration promises to be something special.

Expect the full reveal during the legacy fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2024 show at Paris Fashion Week on 16 January, 8PM (CET).
