The founder of A-COLD-WALL* reimagined the historic boots with a focus on craft, function, and artisanship
A-COLD-WALL* founder Samuel Ross brought handmade craftsmanship to the classic Timberland boot for his second collaboration with the brand, as part of the ‘Future73’ collective series.Ross created two pieces, first interpreting the original boot as a minimally-designed 6-inch Zip Boot in a ‘Jet Black’ colorway—made with regenerative leather and featuring side-zip closure and stacked lugs for added traction.
Future73 is a team of creatives paving the way for fashion and fine art’s future, named after the original Timberland boot made in 1973, who are each designing their interpretations of the Timberland boot and providing their vision for the future of the brand. Aside from Ross, the team includes artist Nina Chanel Abney, Opening Ceremony founder Humberto Leon, CLOT founder Edison Chen, designer Christopher Raeburn, and textile designer Suzanne Oude Hengel.
Ross also looked to Timberland’s apparel archives, releasing pieces including a Chore Coat in ‘Dark Sapphire,’ a Padded Vest in ‘Black,’ an Overshirt in ‘Rus Oxide,’ a Cargo Pant in ‘Black,’ a Sweatshirt in ‘Forged Iron’ and ‘Volt Blue,’ and a Sweater in ‘Moonscape.’Pieces, such as the Chore Coat, were hand painted using a variety of pigments, as well as overheated and distorted to make each piece unique. In this sense, imperfections become signals of craft and artisanship.
The second Timberland x Samuel Ross Future73 Collection is available on August 29 and can be found in retailers worldwide and on
