It is 1952 and Nathan Swartz soon settles down with his brand in New England. There raged hard winters, strong storms and rain - a suitable shoe had to be made. The boot we know and love today was introduced in 1973 and set a new standard for waterproof footwear. The sturdy and functional shoe became a fashion icon later in the 90s. The light brown boots were an integral part of urban culture and rap, after all, they were worn by greats like Tupac, DMX and Wu Tang. Even if "worn" here rather meant to leave the laces open, so that the tongue falls forward and the jeans fell into the boots.
But even besides important pop-culture moments, Timberland offers inventions like showing the logo outside the shoe and a commercial on TV, which didn't really exist for boots at the time. With so much going on, new designs are a given and more versions of the iconic boot emerge. Among other things, in the form of collabs with brands like Supreme, Stüssy or Wacko Maria. The OG Timberland boot is and remains an icon that even Jay-Z, Pharrell and Rihanna can't turn down.
