The Timberland Iditarod Superboot also known as the ’40 Below’ will be the zenith of their 40th anniversary releases, but don’t sleep on ANY of the boots dropping in this pack. Especially the World Hikers.

I certainly understand how mythical the 40 Below boot is. They were worn by Tupac in ‘Juice’ and Das EFX before that. Classic NYC street style is always in fashion.

Tupac Back?

Tupac might be the biggest mainstream reference people have today when considering the iconic and legendary Timberland Iditarod class Superboot. His role in the seminal Hip-Hop movie ‘Juice’ cemented in people’s minds what an NYC street thug wore as he went about his business.

I didn’t buy my first pair, or any pair for that matter, of Iditarod Superboots to do my thugging. These boots were purchased because Timberland represented invincibility for your feet. That was always the ‘hood appeal to Timberland products. The idea that a boot could withstand temperatures as deep as 40 degrees below made you feel like Superman.

The 40 Below is dropping again this November. Here is your chance to cop a piece of Hip-Hop history. Here is where yon get yours.

The Kid Griffey always had fire shoes even if he never got his ‘chipwich.

The key to Outfit Architecture are your footings (foundation) and your roofing. I’m gonna build this ‘fit around the baby blue, blacks and grey on these Griffey Max. Heaven help me to find some 3M Scotchlite apparel to add on to this shit.

This is my life…

I’ve decided to no longer experience my fanboy favorite things amongst other fanboys. I most assuredly will be hyper-critical of the work as I ruminate on all the things the movie or other production didn’t include from the original canon of the character(s).

When I go to see Captain America and Thor later this year I’m taking my 11yr old nephew. He isn’t bothered by the inconsistencies with the canons of these characters. He just wanted to be amazed. That’s all I ever wanted when I first started reading comicbooks.

Marvel Entertainment turned several corners when they committed their properties to Hollywood productions. They have Warner Brothers scrambling to put resources back into their comic book properties. The DC universe was flattened so many decades ago. They have had murmurs and fits but if you were gonna rock with one brand you would be dumb not to say “MAKE MINE MARVEL”.

Don’t play yourself and avoid seeing The Wolverine movie. Shit is dope. All of it.
