As seen on the F/W24 Men’s show, Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams will finally release the Timberland capsule collection

In a world that seems to spin faster every day, it’s often the simplest, most practical things that bring us back to our roots. Ever thought of stepping into a pair of shoes that adopt the ruggedness required for outdoor adventures but with the sophistication of high-end style? The Louis Vuitton x Timberland capsule does just that, offering a transition from urban streets to mountain trails. Unveiled at the F/W24 Men’s Show, this collection dives into the American Western origins of workwear, pulling us into a nostalgic reverie while also planting our feet firmly in the modern world.

Crafted for the Modern Explorer

The capsule explores workwear through the lens of Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire in a way that only Pharrell can. It bridges the gap between luxury craftsmanship and adventure-ready performance, redefining what it means to wear shoes that are as stylish as they are functional.

This collection gives a nod to the past, while we give it a full-on standing ovation.

The boots are made to withstand any terrain, whether rock, wood, steel, or carpet

The ready-to-wear pieces combine the authentic codes of workwear: suits in overdyed jacquards in tones of browns, black, and beiges—durable yet refined as if you’re about to seal a multi-million dollar deal right after fixing a door or coding a program.

High Fashion on the Range

Trucker jackets and coats come with voluminous cuts, decorated with yokes and leather appliqué motifs that hark back to the Western wardrobes of the past. But don’t let the nostalgia fool you. Turquoise-like buttons, pearls, embroideries, and studs add high fashion, not high noon.

Other than boots, the ready-to-wear pieces come in large silhouettes that are durable and refined

At the heart of this collaboration lies the Keepall 50 Toolbox—a utility-inspired bag that transforms Louis Vuitton’s iconic Keepall into a luxurious carryall. Crafted in natural leather and lined with Monogram Canvas, it illustrates the ideal balance of rugged and ritz. The capsule also includes a flask and cigarette case forged in steel, offering a toast to your adventures.

Kicking Workwear Up a Notch

Pharrell didn’t stop there. Constructed from premium supple Italian nubuck leather with waterproof construction and Timberland’s signature rubber lug outsole, these shoes are designed to withstand whatever terrain you tread upon. Whether you opt for the wheat color or the sleek black, each pair manifests both style and functionality, complete with Louis Vuitton eyelets and leather tag decorations.

Variations of the LV Boot include LV 6-INCH, LV BOOT, and LV 6-INCH EXCEPTIONAL EDITION

The collection also offers the LV Boot—a magnified version of the 6-inch silhouette—in various forms: ankle, ranger, pull-on mid, and harness boots.

Highlighting this limited edition, Louis Vuitton releases fifty extraordinary LV 6-inch ankle boots, adorned with 18K gold LV tongue initials inscribed with “THE SUN IS SHINING ON US”, a sentiment from Pharrell Williams’ debut show, crowning this workwear tribute.

As you lace up these boots and don your embroidered jacket, remember the journey from those humble beginnings to this moment. Your ancestors might have used their boots to carve out a new world, but you’ll be using yours to walk into the future—whether on the trail or at the office pantry.
