BCC – ‘Welcome To Bucktown USA’

The mid-height field boot might be Timberland’s most iconic shoe. The profile of this boot belongs to Timberland, and Timberland ONLY. I’m not saying that other bootmakers haven’t copied the field boot, but to this day only Timberland makes the reliable and trusted boot that I would purchase. Luckily for me and my Timberland addiction the A.J. Wright stores carry these shoes with first run quality at factory second prices.

You should have seen Chocolate Snowflake’s face when I picked up these boots. “Not another pair of boots?!” is what she said. But I had to explain to her that $49.99 for the ‘Beef and Broccoli’ was like I was stealing them. The B&B mid field bot is a shoe. This is one of the boots that can ably crossover to whatever you need to do for you. You can even use these as an athletic shoe to a degree. I used to ride my mountain bike wearing these.

Timberland’s premium waterproof upper isn’t the big draw for me on this model. I actually like the padded leather ankle collar and the D-ring quick tie lacing system. The mid field boot isn’t for navigating the extreme snowdrifts that the full height field boot can get through but these boots keep you faster on your feet than the high tops. The mid heigh boots are built for speed.

Queen’s Day In Kings County…

nefertiti

Tonite is the Target 1st Saturday event at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. 1st Saturday is always filled with music, art and energy. The dance party for this evening looks like a winner. They’ve got a real deejay and she is going to focus on highlighting the women of soul and rap music.

I expect there to be a gang of sexy high heels walking around the building. Museum chicks >>> club chicks. Actually, they are all one in the same except when club chicks go to the museum they are better behaved. Bring your flask fellas because tonite will be one of THOSE nights.

NB1300

In honor of Nefertiti and the other African queens that will be present at this event I am popping tags on a crisp pair of New Balance 1300s. These joints were made in England. Polo Ralph Lauren will also be in effect as you might imagine.

If you aren’t doing anything later on and you can afford the free cover charge of zer-0 dollars and zer-0 cents you should fall through the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The event begins at 5pm but the dance party doesn’t start until 9pm.

I went looking for an image of my sneakers and I came across a pic of this colorway NB1300s. I have to find these joints now. These are definitely ‘Blu Cheez’.

Peace to B (Sean’s wife)

Sean Price baby shower concert for Shaun Price was a family affair. Duck Down honchos and stars were all in the building to celebrate beats, rhymes and life. Timeless Truth performed Priceless alongside P and Agallah did one of his freestyles collabos with P.

Sean Price and Timeless Truth is a preview of the ‘Lo-End Theory.

Solace was killing the ‘Lo I.T.’s hardbody with that goose that costed a stack at retail. The vintage Cycle cap is bananas.

What up to my dude David Lui?

Khrysis and Torae on the streets afterwards. The DuckDown movement is doing this rap shit so right at the moment. I’m happy to be so close with these dudes [ll].

dp mh

The first advertisements in the history of DP.com are now in effect. Shout out to 40 Diesel and the folks at MightyHealthy. I’ve never placed ads on this site because I’ve never felt like any company really fuxed with DP. I’m lucky because the heads at MightyHealthy understand this shit that I do over here and they are supporting it.

Do me a favor and click on the MH banner on the sidebar and bounce around their site. If you got some trap left over from your taxes copp some fly shit. MightyHealthy is hosting a sample sale in another week or so at Jeff Staple’s Reed Space Annex. If you are in NYC you should def come thru and chill with me and 40.

I dug into the archives for a pair of high boots that were relatively light weight. The mountaineering boots can stop a blizzard, but when you need to keep it moving and hitting up several spots they will give you the lead foot.

The choice was simple. The 6″ field boot is perfect for navigating snow drifts and still light and flexible enough not to make your feet feel tired from walking. These boots really came in handy this weekend as the ICs walked the expansive perimeter of the Atlantic Yards development site.

The waterproof status of the field boot is unquestionable. The best part of the field boot is its wide and thick sole which grips the ground with surety and stability. The flexibility of the field boots allows you to be super active while wearing them.

Peep the D-ring lacing system. This helps the quick tie-up and release.

The look of this pair is dope. The contrast stitching really sets off the all black leather and mesh upper. No wonder I found another pair of these same exact boots deadstocked in my archive. I must have copped these on some super sale. I have a new habit of keeping a receipt in my shoeboxes so I can remind myself of how much I paid retail for an item.

The little Timberland button on the ankle used to say ‘Gore-Tex’ on the OG field boots. I imagine that Timberland got tired of paying the Gore family for their proprietary fabric so they are now producing their own insulating materials.

I’ve hopefully found someone from the corporate side of Tim who knows their products even better than I do. I’ll let y’all know what comes of the convo.
