[Update 10 Jan 2023] Along with the new campaign and product images, an official release date has been announced for the Stüssy x Timberland World Hiker Boot. It’s scheduled to drop in North America, Europe, UK, Japan & Korea on 13 January, 10am in their respective timezones. Morever, Dover Street Market Ginza will have their own release the next day at 11am.

Missing from the first report, the collaborative World Hiker Boot will also arrive in a “Wheat” colorway, in addition to the black. Both pairs with an RRP of JPY49,500 (~US$375).

Stüssy, Timberland, and GORE-TEX. The trifecta of quintessentially American brands. The paragon of modern Americana. Come 2023, they’ll deliver a heavy-duty pair of boots the way one can expect from their respective pedigrees. This isn’t their maiden collaboration together, though they’ve been a few years removed form the last.

Not much is currently known about the upcoming pair, save from what’s discernible from the images leaked. Howbeit, arriving in an all-black makeup, the GORE-TEX-infused upper features a full leather build. In addition, the collar overlay bears an ostrich leather finish, elevating its perception. Along these parts, a small metallic plate is embedded with GORE-TEX’s branding. Adjacent to it on the metal eyestay, Stüssy’s.

These fashionable combat boots come equipped with two other alternate laces. The trio consisting of a solid neon; the other, black; and the last a striped combination of both.

Neither of the three parties have opened their mouths regarding the pair. Nevertheless, based on these images, it seems ready for the jump, only awaiting the green light from its makers. It should arrive in the coming weeks, or months.
