Pharrell Williams certainly knows how to get the people going. On Friday (Jan. 12), the multihyphenate talent teased a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Timberland, and all the corners of well-dressed, fashion-forward social media are going in.
If you don’t know, one of Pharrell’s current gigs is Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. This union with Timberland is just the latest bomb drop since he picked up the reigns of LV about a year ago to fill the void left by the untimely passing of Virgil Abloh.
Taking to his LV’d out @skateboard Instagram, Pharrell showed off what looks like your standard 6″ high construction Timberland boot—except his version sports the Timberland logo with “Louis Vuitton Paris” written below on the tongue and the world-recognized LV logo on the inner portion which he of course folded down for a look. After the reveal, he pulled down his wide-legged denim that surely cost more than your standard Timbs, too.
No word on a release date or pricing, but you can guarantee these will sell out instantly and cost a grip considering the LV x Nike Air Force 1’s went for about $2750, at retail. Expect to see plenty of these at LV’s Fall/Winter 2024 menswear show that goes down on January 16 during Paris Fashion Week.
No matter the high price of admission, social media has already started either thirsting for these or slandering the design as “lazy.” See for yourself in the gallery.
We’d take a pair, for review purposes, though.

It’s been a hot minute since Pharrell Williams was dominating the airwaves with his out-of-this-world music production, but that doesn’t mean the man hasn’t been hard at work on other projects.

On Wednesday (Nov. 29), Nice Kicks gave sneakerheads a sneak peak at Skateboard P’s upcoming Louis Vuitton sneaker silhouette, and well, at least they look comfortable. Images of the new Pharrell Louis Vuitton 3D-printed shoe was shared by KAWS and Pusha T (of course), and though they don’t look like anything too special, best believe it will cost a grip to get your feet in a pair of these.
Nice Kicks reports:
The 3D-printed-like clog is embossed with LV’s insignia on the side panels and VUITTON across the front with “Show Hong Kong” in the interior. However, not much else is known about the shoe. However, first looks and co-signs from KAWS and Pusha indicate that the first LV shoe under Pharrell will be a focal point for the fashion house.
Yeah, we really don’t expect these to be a hot commodity for resellers as everything seems to be bricking these days. But hey, if you’re a fan of Pharrell and Louis Vuitton, go for it. We ain’t mad at cha.
Check out pics of the Pharrell x Louis Vuitton croc-ish kicks, and let us know if Louis Vuitton’s Mens Creative Director has a hit on his hands in the comments section below.

Even while pregnant Rihanna still slays. She and her baby bump are the new stars of Pharrell William’s Louis Vuitton campaign.
As spotted on HipHopDX Bad Gyal RiRi has been tapped by Skateboard P for his inaugural drop for the Men’s Spring Summer 2023 collection with the French fashion house. “Conjuring the bustling energy of Canal Street in New York, Rihanna embodies the trailblazing vision of Pharrell Williams’ debut collection with a new rendition of the emblematic Speedy” the caption read.
The “We Found Love” singer is captured sporting the brand’s Speedy handbag and duffle bag. “The new Speedy conjures through the inimitable savoir-faire of the maison a visual language evocative of the codes and stylistic attitude of Canal Street. It is an everyday icon conceived for every walk of life,” Luis Vuitton said in a formal statement.
On Tuesday, June 20 Pharrell Williams presented his first collection for Louis Vuitton at the iconic Pont Neuf in Paris. The event was attended by several noted celebrities including Jared Leto, Kim Kardashian, Pusha T and Jay-Z. Pharrell Williams closed his debut show for Louis Vuitton in a digitalized Damoflage motif suit, paying tribute to Paris with the reinvigorated emblem of the Maison.
