ONE PIECE and Timberland Reveal First-Ever Official Collab Collection
Image by James RichardsonONE PIECE and Timberland have announced their first official collaboration, bringing three of the most popular Straw Hat Pirates into a new collection of footwear and apparel inspired by the outdoor brand’s unmistakable style.
Created with exclusive artwork and character-inspired details based on Luffy, Zoro and Chopper, the collection gives Timberland’s familiar streetwear aesthetic a ONE PIECE makeover without losing the look that made its boots a fashion staple.
The collaboration has been created to celebrate the reopening of the ONE PIECE Mugiwara Store Nagoya inside Nagoya PARCO on September 4, following the closure of its temporary location in the same complex.
The Mugiwara Store is the official retail home of ONE PIECE in Japan, with locations dedicated to merchandise based on Eiichiro Oda’s long-running series and its huge cast of pirates.
Timberland, meanwhile, has spent decades building its reputation around rugged outdoor footwear, with its 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot eventually becoming just as closely associated with streetwear and hip-hop culture as its original workwear roots.
That classic boot provides the main focus of the collaboration, with Luffy and Zoro each receiving a custom version built around their familiar colors and pirate imagery.
Luffy’s model keeps Timberland’s famous yellow upper but adds bright red laces, introducing one of the colors most closely associated with the Straw Hat captain without dramatically changing the original boot.
His pirate flag is engraved into the heel, while the tongue carries an embossed version of newly drawn artwork showing Luffy casually carrying a Timberland boot with him.
Zoro’s version takes the same idea in a much darker direction, replacing the yellow upper with black and adding laces tinged with green, inspired by the swordsman’s signature color.
His pirate flag also appears engraved into the heel, with separate embossed artwork on the tongue depicting Zoro actually wearing the boots.
The character details have been worked into the existing Timberland design fairly subtly, making both pairs feel closer to wearable fashion than heavily branded anime merchandise.
The collection also includes three short-sleeve graphic T-shirts featuring Luffy, Zoro and Chopper through the same set of newly created illustrations.
Luffy’s shirt comes in black, while the Zoro and Chopper versions use white bases, with each placing its character artwork prominently across the back.
The front left chest is kept much simpler with Timberland branding alongside the relevant character’s pirate flag.
Chopper’s illustration moves away from the boot-focused artwork used for Luffy and Zoro, instead showing him holding Timberland’s recognizable tree logo.
Both the Luffy and Zoro “6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boots” are priced at ¥38,500 each (approx. $240 USD / £178 GBP), while each of the three graphic T-shirts costs ¥9,350 (approx. $58 USD / £43 GBP).
The boots will receive an early release at Timberland Nagoya PARCO on September 4 before becoming available at Timberland Boutique Tokyo, Timberland Shibuya PARCO and Timberland Sapporo PARCO from September 7.
The T-shirts will launch at Timberland Nagoya PARCO and the reopened ONE PIECE Mugiwara Store Nagoya on September 4 before expanding to participating Timberland stores and all 10 permanent Mugiwara Store locations across Japan from September 7.
Customers who purchase any item from the collaboration will also receive an original limited-edition sticker while supplies last, with the collection itself available in limited quantities.
