This collaboration celebrates Timberland's legacy, blending its rich history of craftsmanship with HTC’s artisanal design and bringing the vision of One Block Down to life. Together, we’ve created a unique boot that perfectly encapsulates the essence of these three distinctive partners. The idea behind the collaboration emerged from a deep dive into the history of studded detailing on leather, with a particular focus on glass and solid brass studs that have become a defining fashion statement.
The use of studs dates back to the 1930s, initially to enhance durability, and later as a form of personalization. People would often use studs to inscribe their state of origin or their name. This historical inspiration laid the foundation for the project.Handcrafted in Italy in limited quantities, the boots feature intricate studded patterns in HTC's signature motifs, presented in three distinct colors that pay homage to the Italian flag. The boot tongue is adorned with studs forming the One Block Down logo, while a distinctive HTC-branded stud on the rear ensures authenticity. As part of this exclusive collaboration, One Block Down and HTC have also designed a matching belt and wallet to complete the look.
