When Timberland and Aimé Leon Dore team up, they don’t miss.
For their fourth collaboration, the brands have come together to create two colorways — “Brown Full Grain” and “Black Full Grain” — of the Mid Lace-Up GTX Boot for the fall, a fresh take on Timberland’s Heritage Moc Toe silhouette. According to a statement, this marks the first time the Timberland GTX Heritage Moc Toe style has been re-released since its introduction in 1991.
The uppers of the boots are constructed using premium full grain leather. More specifically, the brown look is embossed with a crocodile texture, whereas the black features a stingray emboss. Both boots include peccary-embossed nubuck collars that are accented by a soft, hairy suede.

The boots are also lined with the waterproof Gore-Tex membranes and feature EVA footbeds, comfort-focused padded leather collar and rubber lug outsoles for traction. Also, they include custom lace keeper hardware a keychain featuring the Queens Crest branding.
The two Timberland x Aimé Leon Dore Mid Lace-Up GTX Boots are available now via Aimé Leon Dore’s locations in New York City and London, as well as online via Aimeleondore.com and Timberland.com. The boots retail for $195 each.
