200.00History of the designer
The American footwear company and household name Timberland has been around since the 1950s. However, its classic wheat-colored rendition – that was to be loved by workers, hip-hoppers, A-listers, and fashion royalty alike – didn’t arrive until 1973. Initially intended for blue-collar workers, the boots were serendipitously adopted by NYC rappers and hustlers in the early ‘90s, and were soon spotted on the likes of Tupac, DMX, and Wu-Tang Clan, name-dropped by Biggie and featured in Mobb Deep’s artwork. Timbs had become a staple of hip-hop and urban culture, and the company’s sales more than tripled in the ’90s.
Timberland was also one of the first boot brands to advertise on television, and to put its logo on the outside of the shoe, with the iconic tree on the side of the boot – which helped promote its brand awareness.
Its mass appeal lies in its masculinity, versatility, and timelessness, not conforming to one certain genre making it just as relevant today as then.
