It seems that Timberland’s taking an all-new direction with its latest drop. Long gone are the days of the rugged aesthetics, which then morphed to an overall sleeker silhouette as the brand attempted streetwear, and now, under the guiding hand of Christopher Raeburn, has turn the heritage brand towards techwear.
The Ultimate capsule also prepares the user for the current Malaysian weather, ensuring that its garments and footwear are waterproof and insulating, allowing you to stay dry wherever you may be in this torrential rainy season. While the direction may be diverging to a foreign lane, the brand hasn’t forgotten its roots, and as such the Ultimate capsule consists of the Ultimate Boot,, featuring waterproof leather upper sourced from a silver-rated tannery that’s stamped by the Leather Working Group for sustainable environmental practices. Couple that with an all-new TimberGripTM sole system that’s built out of a bio-based rubber compound, traction will be an issue no longer. Ensuring comfort will be PrimaLoft® insulation, anti-fatigue footbed, and an EVA midsole combined that guaranteed all-day comfort and mobility. TimberDry membrane also makes its way to the 6-inch variant, adding an extra layer of protection for the more adventurous.
The jacket is where it gets interesting. DryVentTM ensures proper waterproofing while remaining highly breathable, while ergonomic insulation panels, zonal Thermore® thermal booster insulation and extended ribbed cuffs traps heat and keeps the wearer warm without sacrificing mobility. If it gets too stuffy, there are heat release zips, with a plethora of pockets for easy reach of items.
the Ultimate boots costs RM 739 to RM 839 while the jacket is priced at RM 1199 and is available in stores now.
