The union between Sfera Ebbasta , an iconic exponent of the Italian rap scene, and Timberland , has given rise to a highly successful collaboration resulting in a product with an exclusive design.
Timbearland x Sfera Ebbasta Boots
The collaboration
The first clues of a collaboration between Sfera and the famous American brand emerged in the first days of June , through an Instagram story of the rapper. The story showed a small portion of the boot, revealing only a portion of the sole. A post on Instagram from the official Timberland Europa profile leaves no doubt about an imminent collaboration : the description of the post reads "When legends collide! The power of the icon @sferaebbasta meeting the Original Timberland Boot. Let Him cook!". In the following days the release date of June 27th will be announced.
An exclusive product
The product stands out from the classic boot for its refined workmanship and design rich in symbolism . The black cracks that cover the entire surface of the boot can be interpreted as the marks left by a life full of difficulties and obstacles overcome. What makes this release exclusive is not only the limited number of pieces , equal to 225 , but also the fact that every single pair features splashes of colored paint applied directly by Sfera Ebbasta on each boot. The colors available are white, pink, light blue, mint green and lilac , and there was no possibility to choose the color when ordering.
Inside the boot box there is a silver ticket containing the pair's serial number and a description of the collaboration . Below is an excerpt :
"The cracks and defects - which represent human pride and the journey of life - contain the meaning of two different but universal stories. They tell of challenges won and lost, roads travelled, hardships, climbs, joys, scars and dreams fulfilled. They transmit also all the authenticity of a personal story that speaks of the power of living, breathing communities and (sub-)cultures"
