Timberland’s storied 3‑Eye Lug Boat Shoe gets a sartorial shake‑up as Jacquemus injects its signature playfulness into the silhouette first introduced back in 1978. The French label’s take arrives in a vivid “Banana Yellow,” flipping the script on a classic summer staple without losing sight of its rugged roots.
Underneath the sunny hue, the shoe retains Timberland’s go‑to toolkit: hard‑wearing premium leather uppers, supple leather linings, and that unmistakable But it’s in the details where Simon Porte Jacquemus leaves his mark. Gold‑tone lace‑tip eyelets—one square, one round per side—and cobranded metal lace keepers nod to Parisian polish, turning functional hardware into fine jewelry.
Beyond the aesthetic flourish, the collaboration reads as a dialogue between Timberland’s outdoor Americana and Jacquemus’ minimalist French sensibility. The bright makeover reframes what a boat shoe can be, straddling the line between heritage utility and runway fantasy—ideal for those who want a dash of high‑fashion flair in their summer rotation.
For those ready to step into the juice‑colored drop, the Timberland x Jacquemus “La Bateau” launches April 23 online at jacquemus.com and timberland.co.uk, as well as in select boutiques including Timberland’s Tokyo monobrand location. Pricing lands at £225.
