On July 17, 2026, Timberland x Jacquemus released its second collaborative shoe, returning to Timberland’s 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe after introducing the banana-yellow La Bateau one year earlier. Where the first edition appeared ready to compete with the sun, its successor arrived in Lagoon Blue, continuing a color story in which neutrality was apparently never invited.

The choice of silhouette gave Jacquemus something reassuringly sturdy to disturb. Timberland’s boat shoe carries the handsewn moccasin construction, three-eyelet lacing and substantial lug outsole associated with a style built for practical wear. Jacquemus left that recognizable structure intact, then submerged nearly everything else in a single bright shade of blue.
Lagoon Blue had already appeared in Jacquemus’ Spring-Summer 2027 collection, Le Bonheur. Inspired by Art Deco architecture and the vivid geometry of the 1980s Memphis movement, the color gave the shoe a direct connection to Simon Porte Jacquemus’ wider vision of an idealized summer: less weather forecast than carefully art-directed state of mind.
The monochrome treatment stretched across the full-grain leather upper, lining, laces and tonal Timberland Tree logo. Jacquemus added bespoke metal charms and customized aglets, small interventions that shifted the shoe away from nautical utility without disguising what it was. Beneath all that Mediterranean optimism, Timberland’s heavy lug sole remained ready to encounter something less photogenic than a tiled pool.
Timberland supplied a durable American classic; Jacquemus adjusted its emotional temperature. The shoe could still handle the ground, but its Lagoon Blue finish suggested that it would prefer the ground to be somewhere near a striped parasol.
Released for $250 through both brands’ websites and selected stores, the design continued fashion’s renewed affection for boat shoes while resisting the familiar brown-leather uniform. It treated heritage as something sturdy enough to survive an unusually cheerful color choice.
With Timberland x Jacquemus, the Lagoon Blue boat shoes made rugged footwear look brief, delightful, and allergic to mud.
