This year, we celebrate Timberland’s 45th Anniversary in providing consumers with one of the best waterproof leather boots of its own kind. Back in 1973, Abington Shoe Company introduced the first waterproof leather boots which was built from premium full-grain nubuck leather, thick rubber lug soles and unprecedented craftsmanship. The yellow boot was given the name “Timberland” which eventually stuck on to be the entire brand’s name.
Made for hardworking New Englanders, rugged terrain and wet weather, the boot eventually became a fashion icon. By mid-1980s, the boot was openly accepted by foreign countries such as Italy, United Kingdom and Germany and eventually recognized globally.
To commemorate their 45th Anniversary, Timberland introduces a special collection to pay homage to the heritage of boot-making. The collection consists of iterations of the iconic yellow boot using premium materials and a few different silhouettes such as chukkas, pull-on Chelsea styles, and Earthkeepers® versions made using eco-conscious materials. A detail to be highlighted for this collection is the sapphire highlights symbolizing Timberland’s 45th Anniversary which further adds value to the collection as it becomes distinctively unique and worthy of carrying on a legacy.
The 45th Anniversary edition is available to purchase for RM 899, and can be found at Timberland stores nationwide.
