Timberland x Oklahoma Cowboys Collection
Looking for a cool gift for you man? Timberland recently launched its celebration of Black pioneers from past to present with a limited-release collection reimagining two of its most iconic styles, the Premium 6-Inch Boot and the Euro Hiker. Brought to life through a campaign with the legendary Oklahoma Cowboys—a family-run and community-rooted organization—the collection and campaign honor a culture that has always existed, with a rich connection to the outdoors. Timberland footwear designers Shari-Lee Whyte and Andrew Townes were inspired by the stories of Black pioneers of the past and present, with generations of heritage, innovation, and exploration across the many landscapes of the outdoors. Reimagining two iconic silhouettes, the Premium 6-Inch Boot and Euro Hiker, as symbols of multidimensional community, designed for each other and with comfort and durability in any space. For both footwear styles, “hairy” green suede was chosen as an accent, inspired by the deep greens and textures of nature, against a rich hue of premium, seam-sealed waterproof Timberland® leather. Through this campaign, Timberland will donate $50,000 to the Oklahoma Cowboys Foundation, whose mission is to raise awareness and celebrate the significant role of Black cowboys and cowgirls in Oklahoma’s equestrian heritage.

The second annual release of Corrections debuted this week featuring a piece from Philadelphia-based artist and activist Jesse Krimes. It’s been featured in Men’s Journal and The New York Times. This year’s bottle showcases a detail of Apokaluptein:16389067 by Krimes, a compelling work created while he was incarcerated for 70 months. The detail is featured in a stunning wraparound label whose touch and feel is reminiscent of the 39 bedsheets he used as his canvas. The Prisoner has also partnered with Jesse’s organization, The Center for Art & Advocacy as part of this release. The Center is a legacy project of the Art for Justice Fund and the first national organization dedicated to supporting formerly incarcerated artists. In tandem with the launch, The Prisoner is making a dedicated standalone donation of $75,000 to support their mission of empowering justice-impacted artists through fellowships, mentorships, training opportunities, and platforms.
