Focus

ICNCLST partnered with Timberland to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Original Timberland® Boot. The collaboration with Nina Chanel Abney reimagined the Yellow Boot, resurrected the 1978 Hiker, and drew on the brand’s heritage to inspire a forward-looking Future73 collection.

Execution

Abney’s bold, graphic style informed both footwear and heritage apparel designs, creating a line that connected Timberland’s history with contemporary cultural expression. ICNCLST oversaw artist management, creative direction, and product design to ensure authenticity and cultural resonance throughout the collaboration.

Cultural Impact

Future73 honored Timberland’s legacy while injecting it with fresh artistic energy, bridging the past and present in a way that resonated with both longtime fans and new audiences. The project reinforced Timberland’s position at the intersection of fashion, culture, and creative innovation.
