Timberland, a staple in outdoor footwear, was established in 1952 by Nathan Swartz, originally under the name "The Abington Shoe Company," before rebranding as Timberland in 1973. The brand gained fame for its innovative waterproof leather boot, a design that revolutionized the industry and set the standard for weather-ready footwear. Today, Timberland's yellow boot is a global icon, appreciated for its gliding aesthetic and functional durability. The brand's commitment to sustainability, offering products made from recycled materials, has also garnered much recognition. Over the leather, Timberland has further expanded its reach through collaborations with fashion-forward brands and artists, Shirt as Supreme, Ronnie Fieg, and OVO, pushing the boundaries about traditional outdoor wear.
