It’s no secret that Jacquemus knows the secret of creating a designer item that makes a statement. On the other hand, Timberland knows how to create the ultimate durable shoe that’s rugged and stylish. Together, these two brands have joined forces to create the ultimate summer-ready shoe that doesn’t disappoint on either front. Taking on one of America’s most iconic shoe silhouettes, this design is perfect for a season of color and trend. With subtle yet significant details from the French fashion house, this Timberland shoe is anything but typical. An ultra-chic and ravishing look, this collaborative shoe offers a one-of-a-kind chance to have footwear that’s timeless, modern, and trendy in one design.

The Timberland and Jacquemus “La Bateau” boat shoe

Inspired by Timberland’s 1978 boat shoe, the newest collaborative shoe from the pair takes shape as the “Le Bateau.” This 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe features a banana yellow hue that’s perfect for the upcoming summer season. Featuring hard-wearing premium leather on the uppers and soft leather lining, this shoe is far from your typical boat shoe. The outsole is equipped with rugged and noticeable lugs that give it its more significant shape. Jacquemus’ touch is evident in its gold-colored lace tips, eyelets, and gold-colored metal lace keepers that add a certain level of dazzle. Starting April 23, the shoe will be available via Jacquemus’ online and in-store platforms and will retail for $250. The collaborative shoe will also be available the same day via Timberland’s online site. While a timeless design, this Jacquemus and Timberland collaboration is a modern retelling of a must-have shoe for all men.

For the Irish-based brand Padmore & Barnes, creating a quality shoe with premium details isn’t out of reach. The company has been designing traditional yet modern footwear for years with plenty of success. While the brand knows how to build the ultimate elevated shoe, it didn’t hesitate to tap JJJJound to help present the first interpretation of its iconic P204 silhouette. Along with the Montreal-based company, Padmore & Barnes brought their extensive knowledge of footwear for a new release based on their archival design. First introduced in the 1960s, the P204 silhouette keeps its initial style and pattern with a few contemporary details that bring it to a new generation.

Honoring the P204's original silhouette, the design is constructed with premium suede leather, which sits on top of the sustainable and traditional No1 plantation crepe sole. A traditional mocassin shoe, this style is a versatile design that can easily function as a dressy or casual option. Contrasting the beige upper are brown leather sock liners that showcase the co-branding details of the partnership. Suede loop pull tabs and polyester flat laces complete the design and add small modern touches to the overall look. Tonal detailing, like the monochromatic stitching, can be found throughout the shoe, giving it an extra dimension. Debuting on JJJJound’s web store on April 10 at noon EST, this moccasin shoe is a luxury addition with plenty of style. Honoring the traditional and quality standards of Padmore & Barnes while incorporating JJJJound’s contemporary style, this moccasin shoe is more than your classic silhouette.

Adidas Superstar sneaker: How the shoe became a closet staple

The history of adidas' superstar sneaker

adidas white superstar sneaker

While Adidas’ recent hottest sneaker is undoubtedly the Samba sneaker, the brand has many iconic designs under its belt. One of its most iconic sneakers, the Superstar, was once considered to be the hottest sneaker on the market before the reappearance of the Samba. Although it has lost its ‘superstar’ status, it’s undoubtedly still one of the most recognizable designs the brand has in the vault. Like other retro designs, the Superstar has undergone various changes and collaborations through the seasons, making it even more appealing for the newer generations. Donning a chunky silhouette with its traditional shell toe, the Superstar sneaker set the pace for modern ‘it’ sneakers. Like many similar models, the Superstar has come a long way to become a regular in many closets and a standard for the brand’s footwear line.
The origin of an icon

Just as the Samba was crafted with football in mind, the Superstar sneaker originated on the basketball court. Beginning with the first variation in 1965, the Supergrip, the original model, came equipped with a smooth suede that increased comfort and durability against canvas sneakers. It was later in the 1960s when adidas began experimenting with its hard toe cap for extra protection, starting with a rubber toe. Finally, the adidas France team created the shell toe cap we know and recognize today.
