Some footwear silhouettes are so closely tied to their origins that they rarely need a complete reinvention. For their latest collaboration, Timberland and solebox take that approach with the iconic 6-Inch Boot, introducing new materials while keeping the original blueprint intact. Releasing on 14 November 2026, the collaboration gives the New York classic an unexpected upgrade through a premium pony hair upper in a rich chestnut brown.
A Familiar Silhouette with an Elevated Finish
Timberland and solebox let the material do the talking on the 6-Inch silhouette, with a pony hair treatment in a deep brown-chestnut shade that shifts subtly depending on the light, creating a distinctive finish without losing the boot’s character.
Additional details bring the collaboration together, including stitched Timberland and solebox co-branding, a debossed leather insole and a matching pony hair hangtag.
Paying Tribute to New York’s Working Roots
For Solebox, the 6-Inch Boot always represented the original working boot, with its history and identity deeply connected to New York. The collaboration builds on that heritage, keeping the classic character while introducing new and interesting material choices and an unconventional shade of brown.
The accompanying campaign was also shot in New York, shfiting the focus away from a traditional product-led presentation. Instead, it follows three locals who help keep the city moving, spanning creatives and craftspeople who wear the 6-Inch Boot as part of their everyday lives.
The Timberland x solebox 6-Inch Boot launches on 14 November 2026.
