The Timberland Yellow boot : 45th birthday

The power of the boot. Make a man a warrior and a woman an Amazon (Richard Newbury)

The Timberland Yellow boot is a unisex shoe characterized by a thick sole with tank and high-quality waterproof yellow nubuck leather and is 45 years old. Revolutionary for its impermeability, it was conceived by Sidney Swartz in 1973 just to have a pair of shoes that kept his feet dry during the harsh winters of New Hampshire. Over time this work shoe is transformed into a very sought-after fashion product. It becomes a symbolic accessory of the Milanese “Paninara” generation of the ’80s, a hallmark of their passion for made in U.S.A. In the 90s he became part of the official uniform of the American hip-hop artists, spreading in streetstyle. Timberland for the 45th anniversary of this iconic shoe has created a special edition and has created Celebrating, the first campaign in the world generated by a community in collaboration with Unsplash, the platform of photographers around the world.
