JACQUEMUS AND TIMBERLAND RELEASE $250 LAGOON BLUE BOAT SHOE

$250 buys a boat shoe built on Timberland's original lug outsole, wrapped in full grain leather, and finished with Simon Porte Jacquemus' bespoke metal charms on the aglets. The colorway is called Lagoon Blue, and it goes on sale July 17 at Jacquemus.com and Timberland.com, sixteen months after the pair that started this partnership sold out in banana yellow. Two brands with nothing obvious in common keep proving there is a real market for this shoe.

$250 and a Colorway Called Lagoon Blue

Lagoon Blue is the second finish of the Timberland x Jacquemus 3 Eye Lug Boat Shoe, style TB0A6G7F04V, priced at $250 and releasing July 17, 2026 through Jacquemus boutiques, Timberland.com, and a short list of wholesale stockists carrying it later in the summer. Simon Porte Jacquemus pulled the hue from Le Bonheur, his spring summer 2027 collection, where Art Deco surfaces and 1980s Memphis design furniture set the palette. Every color statement from that runway now has a footwear translation, and this shoe is the first one to actually ship. Direct to retailer first, wholesale later, is also how the brand controlled the first release, so expect the early sizes to move fast and the wholesale run to be the leftovers.

Full Grain Leather Built on the Original Lug Outsole

The upper is full grain premium Timberland leather, leather lined, mounted on the brand's three eye boat shoe last and the signature lug outsole Timberland has used on this silhouette for decades. Jacquemus stitches in a tonal blue Tree logo, swaps in matching laces, and adds bespoke metal charms on the aglets, a detail styled after the hardware on his handbag line. Nothing about the base shoe changed for this release. The craft argument here is inherited, not invented, and that is exactly the point. Timberland already had the construction right, a shoe built to get wet and salted and still hold its shape. Jacquemus is styling it, not redesigning it, which is a cheaper problem to solve than the one he is solving with the Nike Moon Shoe collaboration now three colorways deep, a $180 sneaker built from crinkled nylon instead of tanned hide.

April 23, 2025. Banana Yellow. Sold Out.

The original La Bateau shoe released April 23, 2025 in banana yellow, style TB0A6G7FEVU, and sold out at both retailers within days. That first pair proved a market existed for a $250 prep shoe carrying a French maximalist's color sense, a buyer neither brand could reach working alone. Timberland's boat shoe reads as a menswear default, the kind of shoe a father hands down without explanation. Jacquemus' color story reads as a runway callback nobody expects on a deck shoe. Put both signals on one shoe and the calculation changes for the person buying it. A prep classic that also functions as a Jacquemus collectible sits on a different shelf than either brand occupies solo, and the boat shoe category has been climbing back into rotation across menswear for two straight years, which is exactly the window this partnership keeps timing its drops around.

Nike Owns the Reach. Timberland Owns the Craft.

Jacquemus is not exclusive to Timberland. The Moon Shoe deal sells for $180 and cast Grammy winning musician Solange Knowles in its campaign imagery, moving cultural reach through crinkled nylon and a famous face. The Timberland pair sells construction instead, full grain leather over a lug outsole with decades of proven wear behind it. Running both deals at once means Jacquemus is pricing two separate arguments simultaneously, $180 for the culture play and $250 for the craft play, and letting the buyer decide which one they are actually paying for. The same instinct carried his Le Paysan collection into every boutique this spring, where produce shaped leather accessories did the culture work while the tailoring did the craft work. Simon Porte does not pick a lane. He runs both and prices the difference honestly.

Buy This Pair Before Wholesale Thins the Sizes

Lagoon Blue is the rarer buy of Jacquemus' two active sneaker lines. The Nike Moon Shoe is already three colorways deep, which means supply keeps widening every season. The Timberland pair has one prior release, one colorway, and one sellout on record, and this second drop still ships direct before wholesale partners get stock later in the summer. Buy from Jacquemus.com or Timberland.com in the first week if a specific size matters. Full grain leather at $250 undercuts the $180 Moon Shoe on materials alone, tanned hide against crinkled nylon, and a shoe with only two colorways in sixteen months does not sit on shelves long enough to reward waiting.
