Kith and Timberland Revive the Wheat 40 Below for 2026

The Kith x Timberland Winter 2026 boots go on sale Friday, October 30 at 11AM Eastern, and the lead pair is a 2013 design coming back: the 6 Inch Shearling 40 Below in Wheat. Ronnie Fieg is releasing three Timberland silhouettes in total, timed to Kith's 15th anniversary, through Kith stores, Kith.com and the Kith App. Timberland describes the set as bringing a new perspective to its icons by blending New York workwear influences with Kith's design language.

Three Boots, One Morning

The lineup is the 6 Inch Shearling 40 Below in Wheat, the 40 Below Shearling Super Boot in Wild Dove, and the classic 6 Inch Boot in Burgundy. All three sit in the waterproof nubuck family, and the first two add a full shearling lining. Release time is 11AM Eastern, with Kith's wider Winter 2026 collection dropping at 11AM Eastern, GMT, CET and JST. Pricing was not announced in the coverage available, so no number is attached to any of the three.

Think of it as a spec sheet before a release: the default for every pair is waterproof nubuck, so the boot is built for the weather it will be worn in, not for a shelf.

The Wheat 40 Below Is a 2013 Design

The anchor of the set is the 6 Inch Shearling 40 Below, a hybrid of the 6 Inch Boot and the 40 Below Super Boot that Fieg first released in 2013. It is one of his earliest collaborations with Timberland, and Kith is reviving it for the anniversary.

The details are specific. A triple stacked black leather quilted collar sits against the Wheat nubuck upper. The boot has full shearling lining, a nubuck Kith patch at the ankle, debossed Timberland branding, both names on the tongue and a Vibram outsole. Laces are two tone hiking laces. Wheat nubuck is a light surface that marks easily, and the waterproof upper is the counter to that.

Wild Dove and Burgundy Fill Out the Set

The 40 Below Shearling Super Boot comes in Wild Dove, a tonal finish with waterproof nubuck, metal hardware and a shearling lining. Sources differ on the color name, and one calls it dove grey, so the pair's color is better judged from photos once they are in hand.

The classic 6 Inch Boot is the plain one, in Burgundy waterproof nubuck with gold tone hardware and matching Kith and Timberland branding. The burgundy comes from Kith's Winter 2026 palette, which means the boot is meant to sit with the clothes in that collection, not apart from them.

Read together, the set is a family. The Wheat hybrid is built from the 6 Inch Boot and the 40 Below Super Boot, and the other two pairs are those two parent designs, one in Wild Dove and one in Burgundy. Fieg is releasing the hybrid and both of its parents on the same morning.

Timberland's Third Collaboration Release in Six Weeks

For Timberland, this is the third collaboration release in about six weeks. On September 17, Supreme and Timberland reissued the Diamond Plate boot, the first time the pair brought back a prior collaboration unchanged. On October 22, Supreme and Timberland released a nine piece Fall 2026 collection built on Ventile and suede. Eight days later, the Kith boots arrive.

The pattern is a habit of reissue. Timberland is putting back collaborator designs that already have a history: a Supreme boot from December 2023, a Fieg boot from 2013. Reissue is the lowest risk way to run a collaboration, because the demand data is already public.

Kith itself has a lot going at once. Kit Harington fronts the Kith Winter 2026 campaign in shearling, shot in the English countryside, and the Timberland boots sit inside that collection with adidas Originals and Clarks Originals footwear. On Kith ownership, the brand rests with Fieg and one partner.

What Comes in the Box

The quiet feature is the packaging. Each pair ships with additional laces and illustrated commemorative packaging, so the release is part boot and part anniversary object. A buyer who wears the boots hard still ends up with a box worth keeping.

The practical read is simple. If you want the Wheat 40 Below, the only date that matters is October 30 at 11AM Eastern, and the channels are Kith stores, Kith.com and the Kith App. The other two pairs ride on that clock. What is not yet public is the retail price.
