Alife and Timberland have a collaborative relationship that stretches back well over a decade, and now the two have joined forces once again for a 3-Eye Lug Shoe that’s elevated both literally and figuratively. Officially dubbed the “3-Eye Thickened Lug,” the new style arrives in two classic colorways and is upgraded with a double-stacked midsole.
First up is a green and brown makeup that’s inspired by Timberland’s famous “Beef & Broc” colorway a New York staple and boasts a suede/nubuck construction. Next is a rich burgundy style made of Timberland’s signature Better Leather, which is sourced from environmentally responsible tanneries. The former sits atop a towering black midsole, while the latter rests above a tan and brown midsole. Each features a debossed Alife stamp on the lateral heel, is equipped with rawhide laces and features classic orange lining and insoles to complete its look.
