Timberland

A few months ago I was caught up in a conversation regarding Timberland boots, the conversation was with the infamous shoe designer in training Chris Mannnn.

My stance on Timberland was kinda inpartial, him on the other hand was rocking all black ones on what seemed to be the hottest day of the year thus far. Anyway he was telling me how it has always been about Timbs and my reply was that i'd never really considered buying them, I didnt know why i'd never considered them but since that day i've gone full circle and recently purchased a pair.

Maybe its because of the imapact Workwear has had on our buying behaviour. If you look at Redwing, Doc Martins and even Kickers they have all recently seen a huge resurgence, so is the time of the Timberland boot? In the US Timberland boots have been staple for many many years now but here in the UK they have never been super popular.

You can find all sorts of variations on the website...

timb2.2

timb3.3

timb1.1


For me its out of these two...

timbnew

"Black hoody black timbs."

Ollie, my man, these are hideous. Timbs? brother its hotter than a mothafucker and you copped timbs?

No doubt timberland have done a lot through the years, but some things are just made to be worn whilst digging up a road or driving a JCB.

I just dont think these do any justice unless your rocking them with a air max tracksuite and have 8 kids....

im a huge fan of workwear but I dont think I would go as far timbs.

dickies, carhartt and maybe the kicker hi.

good post tho pal.

mate they sell timberland boots at jd sports and every dickhead in my year at school owned a pair

and i would laugh so hard if i saw anyone wearing these in this heat you must be slightly dumb oliver

lynden said...

so what you are saying is that you have seen redwings and kickers come to life recently and thought you would buy timbs because someone told you they are on point...and everyone else seems to be on them?

more or less the same thing...

Timbs? what the hell have you been sniffing?

no doubt they are classics, but so are cow boy boots and jelly sandals... you wouldnt rock them would you?....oh wait...maybe you would, anything to be different.

just because they are classic's and you heard biggie rap about black timbs and black hoodies, it doesnt make them cool.

theres a fine line between being different and looking like a complete plank.

no hard feelings tho, but I think it ends at kickers.

there vomit inducing

Ollie Danger said...

Easyyyyyy. Im not telling anyone to go and buy a pair, just merely saying Timbs could become super popular. Popular with girls and boys alike not just seen on people who shop in JD.

If the 90's resurgence carries on then surely timbs could make a stong appearance? Just the same way Champion has gone...

your in london next tuesday. HOW DID I KNOW YOU WERE ANY HATING BUMPKIN?

Im in Bethnal all day bruv, can you get your tractor down there?

timmy said...

timberlands were associated with chavs and rock ports were the same and back then i wouldent of 'rocked' a pair nor 'rock' a pair now as a fashion item.

To be honest i do own a pair of timberlands that my mum bought me purely on the basis of practicality years ago and i only wear them when its practical.

i think fasion has proved that timbs could resurrect, boat shoes are a classic example, my dad has worn them for as long as i can remember and wearing them myself had never crossed my mind but people do now...

Jade said...

fucking hell you can tell some people who commented were just itching for their chance to attack. I get the impression they don't relly like the blog hate the writers and use every opportunity to be negative. Personally I COULD see timbs coming back and not looking "chavvy" (what everyone seems so scared of) I think Anonymous should write his own blog clearly he's so fashion forward, unique and has an opinion on every fucking thing.

ollie, now before you say "stop watching me and begging me" I'm not!

but i beg you post a pic in ya timberlands up, i could do with a laugh.
