I should have some more BCC music to post on these drops after tonight. Steele is having a listening session for his latest project ‘AmeriKKKa’s Nightmare Pt.2‘.
This winter has made me appreciate my Timberland collection more than ever. The weather had broken for a few days so I could wear some of my winter sneakers but the forecast is wet and cold for the next few days so don’t be surprised when I dig in the crates for more classics from Timberland.
The pair I’m featuring now was a Marshall’s @ Atlantic Terminal come up. I stay on my greedy grind for deals that are too good to be beat and these trail runners were holding a $25 clearance tag. I don’t know from where they came since I know they hadn’t been in this store previously, or any Marshall’s that I cruise thru in BK or LI.
These joints are called Trailscapes and they are Timberland’s offering to the outdoor set that likes to get all cardio in the mountains. I’m not so much a trail runner as I am a stream dancer. Sure, I’ll climb a rock or two and if we end up walking for hours so be it, but I don’t run. EVAR. That pic above was taken catching the rarely seen woodland beast Assquatch. That is NOT me. These shoes however, are me.
The Trailscape is lightweight and the upper is made of this breathable mesh. The shoes aren’t made to be totally waterproof but rather water-resistant. The suede mudguard keeps the nasty water from getting into the shoes and the mesh upper keeps out the dirt and the rocks. Thre Trailscapes are actually better for biking than they are for running because of the stiff forefoot plate that is built into the outsole. More Vibram patented rubber for the outsole as I see that Timberland trusts them to make the most durable and aggressive components for their shoes.
I think the Trailscapes might be in Filene’s Basement because I don’t ever see them in the TJX stores that I frequent. Copp them if you see them in your area for cheap ($40 and under). They are long wearing and comfortable shoes no matter what Sean Price says.
