END. and Timberland are back with a fresh collaboration, marking their first full head-to-toe collection – ‘Down Filled’.
Building on their ‘Weave’ release earlier this year, this collection dives deep into Timberland’s archives, bringing a heritage-inspired yet modernised take to some of the brand’s most iconic designs. As we reluctantly adjust to the winter season, the collaboration taps into cold-weather-proof styling, blending classic utility with contemporary construction.
At the centre of this collection is the reimagined Timberland Euro Hiker boot. Known for its rugged and durable aesthetic, the Euro Hiker receives a fashion-forward update with down-filled, synthetic panelling on the uppers, evoking the iconic puffer jacket look. Exposed trims add a raw, unfinished edge which sets it apart from the traditional boot silhouette, affirming the British retailer’s commitment to progressive styles.
Composed of sturdy lugged rubber, the boot’s Vibram sole unit complements the appearance while enhancing durability, as contrasting leather mudguards exude rugged sophistication. Strong co-branding garners attention on the collar, where Timberland’s classic tree logo sits beside END.’s vintage-inspired logo rendered in Timberland’s typeface. Paying rightful homage to the long-standing heritage of both collaborators through this overt branding, one thing’s sure. This alliance is making a lot of sense!
Keeping Timberland’s strong legacy at the heart of the offering, apparel pieces such as the windbreaker jacket and nylon pants draw from a utilitarian aesthetic. Proudly flaunting a co-branded patch at the front and tonal embroidery at the back, the jacket delivers a nostalgic yet contemporary feel.
The jersey pieces follows suit, featuring a heavyweight black hoodie with a washed, vintage finish. Channelling a vintage essence, the tee reflects off-white cotton and graphics on both sides – Timberland’s classic “You can’t buy a better boot” quote on the front and a hand-drawn Euro Hiker boot on the back. Finally, rounding out the collection is a black side bag in synthetic down with exposed foam trims, completing the rustic offering.
