‘A sturdy pair of boots can bring you anywhere’. That’s a phrase a mutual friend told me, when I was looking for my first pair of boots at Timberland. For ladies, Timberland boots might seem a bit manly but if you matched it well, you’ll stand out in the crowd. Celebrating its 45th year Anniversary, Timberland introduces a new spin on their iconic 6’inch Yellow Boot with a fashion party at Mid Valley recently.
Let me share a brief history of this famous Yellow Boot from Timberland. In 1973, the yellow boots were the first waterproof leather boots introduced by the Abington Shoe Company. Incorporating premium full-grain nubuck leather, thick rubber lug soles and unprecedented craftsmanship, the yellow boot was an instant classic. It was named the “Timberland.” Ah…so that’s how the name came about…
The iconic boot was never intended to be a fashion icon. Why? It’s because it was made for hardworking New Englanders facing the rugged terrain and wet weather. However, by mid-1980s, the boot became so popular throughout Italy, United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong!
At the celebration of their 45th Anniversary, Timberland introduces a special collection of boots to celebrate the heritage of bootmaking. The new collection features remixes of the iconic yellow boot made with premium materials and expert craftsmanship. Hence, expect a mix of low-profile chukkas, pull-on Chelsea styles and Earthkeepers® versions made with eco-conscious materials. Did I also mention the remixed collection features sapphire highlights? This is a symbol of the 45th Anniversary making it unique!
