Sneakersnstuff Riffs on Timberland’s Iconic ‘Beef and Broccoli’ Boot With a New Recipe
If you refer to the brown and green Timberland Field Boot as “Beef and Broccoli,” you have New Yorkers to thank for the term. And for the Euro Hiker, a new recipe is providing some Swedish flair courtesy of Sneakerstuff for its debut collaboration with the American boot maker.
The Sneakersnstuff x Timberland Euro Hiker “Meatballs and Mash” riffs on the classic by bringing a new color arrangement inspired by the Swedish staple of meatballs and mashed potatoes. Brown suede forms the boot’s overlays, while a creamy white is used for the nylon ripstop base. Sneakersnstuff then goes a step further than the obvious by adding green rope laces and a red heel tab in reference to lingonberries and pressed cucumber, two ingredients often used in Sweden for the dish.
SNS branding has been added to the right the collar, while dual-branding is used for the insole.

Timberland’s Euro Hiker dates back to 1998, when it was first made by pairing a traditional leather hiking silhouette with an EVA midsole more typically used for sneakers to provide comfort and agility. This development was influential in creating the category of “day hiking” boots.
The Sneakersnstuff x Timberland Euro Hiker “Meatballs and Mash” will release through a raffle open now through December 13 on Sneakernstuff’s app. Any pairs still available will then go up on Sneakernstuff’s website the following day. Pricing is set at $180.
