Shawn Yue’s partnership with Timberland was a fruitful one, which saw the MD-01 cut and resewed to make the boot more functional by replacing part of the heel with nylon to enhance comfort. In addition to that, the boots were given a full GORE-Tex treatment to ensure waterproofing in the urban rain.
It was a popular bout, and now, the sequel follows the same footsteps as the first. “ALTERATION” then, is an embodiment of crushed elements of the two brands that are reborn and made better. Combining meticulous details and craftsmanship, the collaboration has resulted in one of the best looking Timberland models to date.
Much like the MD-01 back then, the MD-02 is pretty much the same, with the exception of more understated colours and hairier suede. Apart from the boots, both the Chukka and 3-Eye Boat Shoes are go under the knife and are given premium suede leather treatment while resting on top of Vibram® outsole for all-day comfort.
Expect a high price for these pairs, as quality doesn’t come cheap. The MD-02 retails for RM 1199 while the Chukka and 3-Eye go for RM 1099 and RM 899 respectively. Pairs are available at Timberland Mid Valley and selected Crossover stores nationwide.
