Eco-Friendly "Hookset" Shoes Also Available for Custom Order
Timberland's custom-made order system has been upgraded to a total of seven models. For the iconic "Premium 6-Inch Boots," not only can the upper color be customized, but new options allow for changes to the heel, side panel, and tongue, enabling over 13.6 billion possible customizations.
Additionally, the eco-friendly "Hookset" shoes, made with organic cotton and natural latex rubber, can also be custom-made.
Custom Shoes by Yoshimasa Hoshiba and Roland Kirishima
To celebrate the renewal of the custom-made order system, custom-made shoes envisioned by Yoshimasa Hoshiba (Fashion Director), Roland Kirishima (Photographer), Junya Kasuga, and Cecil Kishimoto (both Models) have been produced. They are available for sale at Timberland shops nationwide and the official online shop.
Yoshimasa Hoshiba custom-made four models, commenting, "As I am a grown man now, I've created these with a focus on being understated, standard, and chic, rather than overtly flashy or unique in appearance."
Roland Kirishima stated, "The most important thing is that they suit me. I enjoy playing survival games as a hobby, so I made camouflage-colored boots. I also chose a color scheme that would match the jeans I usually wear, aiming for a simple design that wouldn't easily bore me, yet with attention to detail."
Enjoy Custom Shoes on the Online Shop Too
Cecil Kishimoto, the sole female participant, shared, "I focused on designs that I thought girls would find cute while imagining outfits they could wear them with. Among the boots, I aimed for a sophisticated look with accent colors, not just cuteness."
Timberland's custom-made shoes, now available for purchase on the online shop, are crafted with care one by one, allowing customers to experience the brand's craftsmanship.
TIMBERLAND Custom Shoes Campaign
