Packer Reimagines Timberland’s 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe With “Santa Fe” Flair

Packer, a streetwear retailer, has collaborated with Timberland to reinvent the 1978-originated 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe, giving it a Southwest-American vibe. The “Santa Fe” model is the name for this classic men’s footwear design that now carries a bolder, more explorative spirit. This transformation is achieved by incorporating visual elements reminiscent of the arid landscapes and vibrant indigenous cultures found in the region.

Drawing inspiration from the region’s rich history of craftsmanship, these shoe uppers blend a mix of beige and tan suede, echoing the textiles traditionally used by North America’s Indigenous people as well as styles that originated in the Old West. A more obvious nod to this heritage can be found in the use of a braided leather lace resembling a bolo tie, often adorned with a turquoise stone. This vibrant blue gemstone has been an integral part of Native American culture for countless generations.

Furthermore, bolo ties originate from the 1930s within the Zuni, Hopi, and Navajo tribes. Silver accents, such as textured eyelets and ornate lace tips, underscore their distinctly American character. Perched on a tanned outsole with lugged details for improved grip, this sophisticated design is both stylish and practical.

Available immediately at the Packer online store, you can purchase the Packer x Timberland 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe “Santa Fe” for $198 USD.
