ACW* X Timberland
A meeting of British brutalism and American heritage, ACW* X Timberland brings together Samuel Ross's industrial design language and Timberland's outdoor lineage in a single, considered capsule. Conceived for the Future73 project marking Timberland's fiftieth anniversary, the collaboration reimagines the iconic six-inch boot through A-COLD-WALL*'s lens, all sculptural shrouds, side-zip closures and concrete-toned leathers crafted by Italian artisans. Each piece reads as much as architectural study as footwear. Explore the ACW* X Timberland collection at MARAIS and step into a quietly radical chapter of contemporary design.

A-COLD-WALL* and the Architecture of Modern Fashion
Founded in 2015 by Samuel Ross, A-COLD-WALL* emerged from London as a self-described material study for social architecture. Ross, who honed his eye working alongside Virgil Abloh before establishing his own label, built the brand on brutalist principles, industrial greys, concrete tones and precise, asymmetric construction. The result is a vision of fashion that reads as sculpture: garments and accessories that interrogate the relationship between street culture and high design, and that have earned A-COLD-WALL* a singular place among contemporary luxury houses.
The ACW* X Timberland Collaboration
The ACW* X Timberland capsule belongs to Timberland's Future73 project, created to mark the heritage label's fiftieth anniversary. Across the partnership, Samuel Ross reimagines Timberland's most recognisable silhouettes through an A-COLD-WALL* sensibility, an exercise in honouring an icon while quietly dismantling and rebuilding it.
The Reimagined Six-Inch Boot
At the heart of the collaboration sits the six-inch boot, stripped of its familiar lacing and reworked with a side-zip closure and a smooth shroud that conceals the traditional eyelet system. Crafted predominantly by master Italian artisans and finished in regenerative leather, the boot speaks to what Ross describes as a return of craft, family ateliers, apprenticeship and the slow discipline of making things well.
The Three-Eye Lug Shoe
Complementing the boot, the low-top three-eye lug shoe brings the collaboration's design language to the ground. Built from deep sapphire ripstop with a water-resistant lining and a rugged lug outsole, it carries Timberland's outdoor DNA into a refined, urban register, equally at home navigating the city as the elements.
