Timberland "Built Your Own" Boat Shoe


Timberland seems to be the first brand to launch a "built your own" boat shoe program. Involving both men and women styles, choices include a regular style boat shoe or a chunkier, custom handsewn version. The customization process is quite intensive including a number of different colors, with both your traditional browns and earthy tones alongside more liberal blues, pinks and purples. The site can be seen here. Availiable only for U.K. shipping. (via hypebeast)
