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.
Dals,
the flam grill………in each of the gear photos with a headshot you should draw one of the “thinking” white balloons like in comic books that shows you thinking “flam, i’m killing”
sorry for the OT comment…
a coupla Olympics thoughts
1 noticed the Nordic (Cross Country) skiing gold medalist was a Norwegian, PETER NORTHUG. That would be a great name for a generic Northeast thug rapper! Peter Gunz shoulda used that back in the day instead. Maybe the next MOP or Beanie Sigel type dude outta NYC or Philly should use it.
2 during Curling, 1 dude shuffles the “rock”, & then enthusiastically yells “hard, hard” at the 2 “sweeper” dudes with brooms sweeping the ice. The whole sport needs a ginormous [||] for that!
“wide and thick…grips…with surety and stability….”

yo no disrespect dp but hip hop dudes, yourself included have an unhealthy and feminine love for kicks, does your girl have a love for that shit in the same way? just sayin, shoes keep me from steppin on pointy rocks and gettin splinters, or for runnin from the po, whats with our culture loving shoes so damn much? yeah understood fresh kicks are nice and comfy, but having a borderline sexual attraction to sbs or af1s seems a little stranjay, think about how many asian kids have been blinded by that shit, this can even extend to dudes rockin ice, what about their african fam that is straight oppressed from mining that shit, eff you jay-z, rick ross, lil wayne, eff all you cats fuckin over those poor people in sierra leone and the congo, i guess nike has improved their factory conditions over the years and at least timberland has their headquarters and manufacturing in North America, but really doe, whats with that? i still got respect for ‘lo heads tho, bein one myself
gstatty,
Unhealthy = feminine?
If you are American, like for real American, then you are an addict to something. Unless you don’t have a mind or a soul. Living in America made me an addict. I got programmed by Saturday morning cartoons and primetime TV as did most real Americans.
Maybe you aren’t an addict, good for you. I am an addict for sneakers, twenties of buddha, bitches and beepers. Well not so much beepers anymore. I aspire to have everything that I like. If you don’t aspire to achieve or accumulate you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask what’s wrong with you.
Dals,
the animal collar would kill in the ATL………
dp, i gotta agree with you there, i am a technology addict, a hip hop addict, and a purveyor of fine things in general, i used to be a comic book, toy and cartoon addict way back, my parents get mad when i tell i was raised by saturday morning cartoons, and i say feminine because lets be honest, women love shoes, and i can’t blame you for bein addicted to buddha either, especially if it makes you feel above the clouds, keep doing you man
