A fascinating exchange has unfolded in the footwear world. A year after Bottega Veneta offered its interpretation of the classic work boot, Timberland has responded with its own take, not-so-subtly echoing Bottega’s design language.

About the Timberland “Woven Bottega” 6-Inch Boot

Released discreetly towards the end of 2024, this all-black lace-up distinguishes itself with a woven black leather upper, reminiscent of Bottega Veneta’s distinctive Intrecciato weave. While a side-by-side comparison reveals clear differences, the shared aesthetic is undeniable.

The result is a boot that exudes a refined elegance, a distinct departure from the ruggedness typically associated with Timberlands. The polished surface gleams with a subtle sheen, complemented by matching rope laces that blend classic Timberland detailing with a touch of upscale flair. This release aligns with Timberland’s recent forays into high fashion, reminiscent of collaborations like those with Louis Vuitton.

The timing of this “Bottega-inspired” Timberland—a year after Bottega’s own work boot homage—seems too deliberate to be mere coincidence. Whether intentional or not, the strategy has proven effective. The Timberland “Woven Bottega” 6-Inch Boot, priced at US$250, have nearly sold out online.
