Timberland Brings New Meaning to Minimalist Design in Outdoor ...
Press Release Source: Timberland on Monday October 3, 2011, 9:00 am EDT STRATHAM, N.H., Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — This fall, Timberland goes beyond <a href="http://www.putianb2b.com/"><strong>莆田鞋服城</strong></a> minimal to give men a fast and ultra-light multi-sport boot. *At just 12.5 ounces, the new Timberland® Mountain Athletics® LiteTrace™ Mid offers fast-paced adventurers the stability, traction, durability and waterproof protection of a hiking boot with the lightness of a sneaker. *The LiteTrace™ boot marks the latest innovation in the Timberland® brand’s rich outdoor heritage of performance footwear. Though minimalist shoes have risen in popularity worldwide in recent years, especially in the running space, Timberland noticed a void in the multi-sport category. *By nature, traditional multi-sport and hiking boots are heavier than athletic shoes. *As a result, many consumers can be found wearing sneakers on the trail, sacrificing the support and protection they need to be fully equipped for their adventures. *As a brand with a long history of identifying and solving problems related to performance for the outdoors, Timberland greeted this challenge head-on. “Men around the world turn to the outdoors to escape and explore. *Unfortunately, many have been sacrificing the support and protection they need on the trail,” says Brian Moore, vice president of men’s footwear for Timberland. * “Weighing just over 12 ounces – our lightest design yet – the LiteTrace™ boot strikes a perfect balance between minimal and durable. *Men no longer need to compromise; they can now get the protection, stability and waterproofing they need, in an extremely lightweight multi-sport shoe.” The LiteTrace™ boot’s innovative, single-layer waterproof upper uses no-sew construction and minimal seam sealing for ultra lightweight, breathable performance. *By eliminating <a href="http://www.putianb2b.com/"><strong>莆田外贸网址导航</strong></a> layers, the membrane is closer to the foot and the outside of the shoe – where heat and vapor transfer most easily – creating a unique, breathable waterproof shell. *A Pebax® foam heel insert further reduces weight in the shoe. *Timberland is the first brand to use Pebax® foam – which is 20 percent lighter than EVA, more durable and resistant to temperature change – in a multi-sport boot. *The LiteTrace™ boot also features Green Rubber™ outsoles, made with 42 percent recycled rubber for traction and durability on the trails. * Timberland is supporting the launch of the LiteTrace™ collection with a robust integrated marketing campaign in North America. *Key elements include: TV: *An energetic new television spot, “Escape Faster” created by agency of record Leagas-Delaney, follows the journey of a man seeking escape from the everyday rigors of city life to recharge in the outdoors. *Our hero steps out of his office and immediately imagines himself in the outdoors, as mundane city scenes turn into inspiring outdoor vistas. <a href="http://www.putianb2b.com/"><strong>莆田鞋业</strong></a> *The street becomes a rock-laden stream, deer populate the sidewalk, and ultimately a newsstand becomes a rock face he climbs to leave the city behind. *His LiteTrace™ gear empowers him to Escape faster. *The spot begins airing this week in Denver, Minneapolis and Seattle. * Print: *A print campaign reinforcing the “Escape Faster” message, also created by Leagas-Delaney, will run in a number of national and regional outdoor publications, including the Outside Buyer’s Guide, Backpacker, Wend, and Mountain Sports and Living, among others. Digital/Social Media: *In addition to a robust media buy with online media including the likes of Outside.com, Adventure-Journal.com and Pandora.com, Timberland has teamed up with the Gear Junkie’s Stephen Regenold to create the “Fast & Light” channel at gearjunkie.com/fast-and-light. *Consumers can watch the LiteTrace™ and other lightweight Timberland® gear in action as the adventurer pushes himself to the limit in a brand new video series. *For the latest on new episodes to be released throughout the fall, consumers can tune in to the new “Outdoor” tab on the Timberland Facebook page (facebook.com/timberland) and follow Timberland on Twitter (twitter.com/timberland). <a href="http://inbookmark.com/mybookmark.php"><strong>安福商贸城</strong></a> * The LiteTrace™ collection is available now on timberland.com and rei.com, and will be in select REI stores nationwide this week. *Consumers can stay updated on the latest Timberland® innovations at mountainathletics.timberland.com.
