THE LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTION REIMAGINES THE ORIGINAL TIMBERLAND BOOT AND DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW INSTALLMENT TO THE GHOSTBUSTERS FRANCHISE
MARCH 12, 2024: Timberland is collaborating with Sony Pictures Consumer Products for a limited-edition Ghostbusters collaboration in celebration of the release of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire as well as the 40th anniversary of the original film. The Timberland x Ghostbusters collection will showcase two men's styles meticulously crafted, drawing inspiration from the movie’s iconic ties to New York City as well as details that provide nods to the Ghostbusters universe. Each pair of boots comes in exclusive packaging featuring the Ghostbusters logo, the ghost language across the top with just a hint of slime inside. Timberland x Ghostbusters styles include:
- Timberland® x Ghostbusters Premium 6-Inch Wheat Nubuck ($220): Built upon Timberland’s outdoor heritage and infused with toughness and style from the streets of New York City, it’s a boot that will instill you with confidence to chase ghosts or any other adventure. The fully waterproof boot features hazard tape inspired laces, two interchangeable hang tags (ECTO-1 license plate or the Ghostbusters logo) and ‘Ghostbusters’ heat debossed on the collar. Completing the style is an NYC subway map printed on the footbed and Ghostbusters logo embossed on the tongue.
- Timberland® x Ghostbusters Premium 6-Inch Black Nubuck with Camo ($220): The iconic Timberland silhouette is transformed into the ultimate ghost-chasing waterproof boot. Featuring bright slime green glow-in-the-dark laces, outsole and a hang tag that is seen with the phrase “I ain’t afraid of no ghost!’, the silhouette is completed with a slime Ghostbusters logo on the tongue and ghost slime pattern in shades of black and grey printed on the collar. This boot is built to take on the ghosts and unexpected adventures of the streets of New York and beyond.
“Ghostbusters and Timberland are timeless classics, cherished by fans across generations. Collaborating with Sony Pictures Consumer Products on this collection was an exciting endeavor for us,” said Ezra Martin, VP of Marketing, Americas. “The wealth of inspiring artwork provided by Sony fueled our creativity, allowing us to craft styles that resonate with the Ghostbusters fandom. The collaboration celebrates the spirit of Ghostbusters and the city that we consider our second home.”
