Thanks to you interconnected networks aka the internets for helping me grab the ear of the folks at Timberland. The Boot Camp Clique videos have been seen by some of the higher ups at the brand and my fanboy love is getting its overdue respect.
I was pleasantly surprised to come home one night and see a massive box from the Timberland Company (via Epiphany Marketing) on my doorstep. Even if my box didn’t have my name on it I was still geeked the fux out of my mind to feel like I had been chosen.
The boots are the classic 10061 style. Some folks call these the ‘cheese’ boots. I put these shoes in my top 5 Hip-Hop sneakers of all-time. The boots are built for four(4) season wearability. I’ve seen kids playing basketball and handball in these shoes as well as their ubiquitous presence on countless construction sites.
The 10061s are one of the most enduring, iconic descriptions of the American work ethic next to Levis and a New York Yankees baseball cap. The smell of the nubuck suede is undeniable. The last of the stitches is unbreakable. The silicon rubber lug sole is unstoppable. The 10061 on your feet make you invincible.
The Timberland socks sent with the boots were a supreme touch from the Team Epiphany crew. The socks complete my Timberland 10061 footwear system.
The packaging and the boots were a dope surprise, especially to see that I’m on Timberland’s radar, but the real win was on the inside of these boots. Timberland’s patented Anti-Fatigue insoles are the best detail added to the new 10061. I can wear these boots now like I rock a pair of SB Dunks. All day long.
