It's no secret that Timberlands have pretty much been non-existent as of late. The brand once synonymous with urban wear and a major staple on the New York Hip Hop scene is now being replaced with a more polished look. Instead of 6" inch constructs with the laces undone, heads are opting for a more classic but casual boot from brands such as Red Wing and Polo.
Despite a slight re-emergence with the help of fashionably influential artist such as Kanye West and Jay-Z, the brand still hasn't managed to recapture the popularity of it's glory days. But all of that is about to change. The company has recently added a new extension to the brand called Timberland Boot Company and the 2010 fall collection is kind of a big deal. Going in a more refined direction Timberland is placing itself in a position to properly compete with the higher end labels.
Of course with that comes a raise in price and a move to more befitting stores such as Saks, Bloomingdale's and Fred Segal. So if you're looking for a way to add some variety to your closet or just want to go to the club without being turned away at the door this is it. Word to Michael Jackson.
