The SOLDIER x Timberland The Tiger collaboration transforms a classic 6-inch zipper boot into a one-off artistic statement by Lagos-born, London-based artist SOLDIER. Wrapped in bold tiger-stripe camouflage, the design reflects his subversive visual language and pays homage to military and streetwear codes through a rich palette of earthy browns and deep olives, also known as Timberland’s “beef and broccoli” look. The result is a striking blend of utility and creative expression.
This is SOLDIER’s second boot collaboration with Timberland, following his hand-painted reinterpretation of their yellow boot. The Tiger emphasizes artistry over mass production, with only one pair in existence, available exclusively through the artist. It serves as a tactile manifesto, merging resistance, personal narrative, and craftsmanship into a functional work of art. The boot’s singularity makes it both a collector’s piece and a wearable symbol of individual style and defiance.
