Those who have been on a desert safari before know better than to turn up in a pair of sandals or chunky sneakers.

The slippery dunes require a certain kind of grip that keeps the sand out, but if you feel that the outdoor selection is lacking an element of style, then we have found the perfect solution for you.

The 90’s favourite Timberland boots have had a Jimmy Choo makeover. Loved by the likes of J.Lo, these tough girl shoes have been frosted with crystals, injecting a touch of edgy femininity to the much-celebrated silhouette.

The capsule collection includes three unique styles. The first in the signature beige with an elegant, detailed JC logo, the second a showstopper with a Swarovski crystal collar and finally a black version of the streetwear boot with an embellished glitter toe.

“To collaborate with a brand like Timberland allows Jimmy Choo to explore a new avenue and take part in a different conversation,” said Sandra Choi, Creative Director of Jimmy Choo. “I love to mix it up by getting together with different creative minds, combining our DNA to create a beautiful and surprising product with unexpected links to the roots of both our brands. Timberland’s outdoor work heritage combined with our high-fashion sensibility creates something really exciting and unique in the market.”

Available exclusively on Ounass, these stompers will see you comfortably trekking round Hatta, taking on the exhilarating zipline in Jebel Jais and keep you comfortable on the overnight desert camp experience.

As part of this exclusive launch and in support of Timberland’s pledge to plant 50 million trees over the next five years, Timberland will plant a tree for every pair of boots created in this limited collaboration.

Celebrate the great outdoors one step at a time.
