Timberland Takes Us Out to Sea With Its SS26 Boat Shoe Campaign
Featuring two styles of the timeless footwear staple.
Timberland went nautical for its Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, celebrating its Authentic Boat Shoe by the sea in a multi-generational shoot. Photographed on the Neapolitan coast in a historic boatyard, the heritage footwear brand takes its sailing classic back to its roots. Posing the timeless shoe as the wardrobe constant it is, Timberland casually dropped one of the best campaigns of the season.
Photographed by Paul Hempstead, the imagery is soft and doused in oceanic shades of blue. With intentional head-to-toe styling, the boat shoes take center stage in various colorways and styles. Worn-in leather uppers are accented by rawhide laces and brass eyelets. Lug soles give the shoe a 2020s update whilst the classic 2-eye style is for all ages and all seasons.
Originally launched in 1978, the Authentic Boat Shoe has been keeping sailors grounded at sea for over 50 years. Each look pays homage to the boat shoe’s history while exploring its place in the 21st century. Decades of craftsmanship and heritage are contrasted by youthful, modern outfits for an up-to-date outlook on an ageless shoe.
The Authentic Boat Shoe is available to purchase on the Timberland website and select retailers.
