Streetwear retailer Packer has partnered with Timberland to revamp the 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe, first introduced in 1978. Dubbed the “Santa Fe” edition, this updated design draws inspiration from the American Southwest, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern streetwear aesthetics.
Inspired by Indigenous artistry and Old West influences, the shoe’s upper features a mix of beige and tan suede, mirroring the earthy tones of handcrafted textiles. The standout detail is the braided leather lacing, designed to resemble a bolo tie, complete with a turquoise stone accent that pays homage to Native American culture.
Blending Tradition with Modern Utility
The Santa Fe edition retains the rugged durability of Timberland’s original boat shoe while incorporating refined elements that enhance its heritage appeal. Silver hardware, including textured eyelets and bold lace tips, adds an Americana-inspired touch. The lugged tan outsole ensures stability and traction, making the shoe both stylish and functional.
Where to Buy
The Packer x Timberland 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe “Santa Fe” is now available exclusively at the Packer web store, retailing for $198 USD.
