How do you take Timberland’s iconic 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot and make it even more premium? For Japanese fashion brand Nonnative, the answer lies in the details starting with a luxurious long-nap suede, a fresh “Sand Beige” color, and enhanced weatherproofing that makes this boot as functional as it is stylish.

Launching this Friday, the Nonnative x Timberland 6-Inch Premium Gore-Tex Boot is a refined twist on the classic silhouette. The usual leather upper has been swapped out for a hairy suede texture, giving it a more sophisticated look while still maintaining its rugged durability. And don’t let the soft texture fool you this suede is completely waterproof, ensuring that these boots can handle anything nature throws at them.

Built for Performance and Style

Beyond the upgraded suede, these boots come equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane on the inside, making them more breathable and better suited for all-weather wear. Compared to Timberland’s standard waterproof boots, this version brings a whole new level of comfort. The rubber lug outsole has also been upgraded to Vibram rubber, known for its exceptional durability and traction. Whether you’re navigating city streets or taking on rough terrain, these boots have got you covered.

Aesthetic with a Twist

At first glance, the Nonnative x Timberland 6-Inch Premium Gore-Tex Boot keeps things tonal and minimalist, but the subtle details make all the difference. Black and white contrast stitching runs along the seams, adding an understated design element. The classic Timberland logo is subtly embossed, blending seamlessly into the boot’s design.

To let you customize your look, the boots come with three different sets of laces:

• Classic black for a sleek and modern look
• Beige to match the boot’s earthy tone
• The signature two-tone yellow-and-brown for a traditional Timberland vibe

Release Date and Where to Buy

This isn’t the first time Timberland has experimented with Gore-Tex and Vibram. Back in September 2024, the Montreal-based design studio JJJJound introduced a leather version with similar upgrades. But what sets the Nonnative collaboration apart is its one-of-a-kind “Sand Beige” suede, exclusive to this release.

The Nonnative x Timberland 6-Inch Premium Gore-Tex Boot will retail for $220 and will be available starting Friday, February 28 at select retailers, including Nonnative, Coverchord, Beauty & Youth, Kith Tokyo, and Timberland Japan stores.
