Jacquemus Gives Timberland's Boat Shoe a Crocodile Makeover
Timberland's three-eye boat shoe has been around since 1978, but its latest collaboration with French fashion house Jacquemus looks considerably less concerned with the docks. The new Timberland x Jacquemus boat shoe arrives in crocodile-embossed leather, bringing a decidedly dressier attitude to one of the brand's most recognizable silhouettes.
The limited-edition release comes in Dark Brown Croc and Navy Croc, following the partners' earlier experiments with banana yellow and Lagoon Blue. The brown version pairs textured leather with softer suede and leather accents, while the navy edition goes heavier on the embossed finish. Both retain the chunky proportions and rugged rubber lug outsole that distinguish Timberland's original from the slimmer, traditional deck shoe.
Underneath the new finish, the familiar construction remains. Premium Timberland leather, a padded collar, soft leather lining, and moc-toe stitching keep the shoe rooted in its heritage. Tonal branding and custom metal details add a restrained Jacquemus signature without overwhelming the design.
Priced at $320, the latest collaboration isn't trying to reinvent the boat shoe's construction. Instead, it plays with its identity, taking something once associated with practical waterfront footwear and giving it a place in a more fashion-conscious wardrobe. It's an unusual pairing that makes more sense the longer you look at it.
