We might (might!) be gaining some more respect for Timberland after the first pictures surfaced of the brand's new collaboration with ... Colette. As in, the ultra-cool, indie-favorite French boutique, Colette.
We never, in a million years, would have predicted such an unlikely romance, though we guess it makes sense in that both are popular with the rockstar set. And it is true that Colette carries some dope Nike kicks in addition to Victor & Rolf cocktail dresses and $400-Euro sunglasses by Martin Margiela.
And ... we'll admit it ... these Timberlands are growing on us. The bright blue laces and ankles provide a cool contrast to the knock-around tan leather, and they have an almost irresistible grunge-y appeal, which seems fairly au courant. What do you guys think?
