Timberland and BEAMS have joined forces on a capsule collection that marks a milestone: BEAMS’ 50th anniversary, available now on Complex.
The centerpiece is a reimagined version of Timberland’s iconic Wheat Boot. Where many collaborators treat the boot as a blank canvas for loud graphics or extreme colorways, BEAMS took the opposite approach—stripping the silhouette down to its architecture and asking what the boot looks like when you take away its most familiar feature.
The answer is a laceless slip-on that swaps the boot’s traditional lace eyelets for an adjustable strap. GORE-TEX construction keeps the boot weather-ready, and the whole thing sits in Timberland’s signature butter suede—a colorway so deeply embedded in footwear culture that changing it would have missed the point entirely. The result is a boot that reads as unmistakably Timberland while feeling like something you haven’t quite seen before.
Beyond the boot, the capsule extends into apparel, featuring a jacket, a T-shirt, convertible work jeans, and the reimagined boots. Each piece carries Timberland’s utilitarian foundation through BEAMS’ more precise, considered lens.
