There are two types of collaborations. Either they are originally compatible with each other, or they are unexpected and co-create with each other. The pain when the latter works out is probably one of the most enjoyable aspects of collaboration.
To be honest, I was surprised when I heard that Timberland and WACKO MARIA would be collaborating, but judging by the outstanding finish you see here, I'd say the experiment was a success.

The base model is the craftsmanship-filled "Classic Two-Eye Boat Shoe. The Wacomaria's signature leopard pattern design is fused into this model, adding a glamorous mood to the heritage style.
The hand-stitched moccasin upper is made of long fur-lined jalaco and "better leather" produced at a tannery that has received a silver rating for its environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.
Looking at the item alone, some people may think it packs too much of a punch, but when you actually wear it, this sexiness really works well. The more flashy the feet are, the simpler the rest of the outfit will be, completing a casual style with a hint of adult sex appeal.
This is a pair of shoes that I hope fans of WAKOMARIA will try, as well as those who do not usually pick up this brand's products.
It will go on sale at WAKOMARIA stores from July 30 (Sat), and will be available at Timberland stores and online stores from August 6 (Sat).
