The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

tim mocs

^ Greatest. Shoe. Evar.

This is the ultimate shoe for khaki pants. The rugged soles or the boat deck bottoms. Either way you can not properly prep out your style without a pair of the handsewn mocs.

I’ve been in touch with Timberland this week because the 6″ black field boot that I featured here a few weeks back failed me the other day. I’m hoping that Timberland will repair the soles as opposed to replacing the boots. Since the style is no longer in production a replacement pair almost feels like a downgrade.

Here’s a great article to read of an interview with the CEO of Timberland Jeff Swartz. He puts the company’s recent failures on his shoulders and talks about finding the path back for Timberland by doing just that – hitting a trail. Timberland isn’t Nike. or adidas, or even Rockport for that matter. Their product always represented the outdoors and the things people did everyday from construction to just plain hiking.

Timberland represents the sensibility of the everyman. The blue-collar, lunchpail, hands-on worker. For the folks that don’t take any days off, why should your shoes? Ha! I’ve been wearing Timberland boots for too long you can tell. It’s gotten to the point that I need to start writing copy for Timberland.

  1. Anybody in my age group, who went to high school in Los Angeles in the 90’s, knows that you couldn’t go to my school, Westchester High School (shout out to Trevor Ariza), without a pair of these shoes. It was that serious.

    Internets! Someone holler at Timberland and tell them we have received the vaunted Sean P cosign.

    Keep in mind that Sean P likes nothing, so if he fux with your shit it MUST be official

    These used to be my joints to get into the club, when sneakers were dissed at the door. I keeps a pair in my arsenal these days, but I’m looking for the tan suede ones…

    Word Is Bawn! I was waiting for the 14-15, but the P! co-sign makes these right here the troof!

    The dopeness. So fresh, so clean. Woodbury got them for cheap? Never fucked with the black or beige nubucks- strictly burgs.

    These kicks got me in a tangent right now. $yk cried like a beeatch when I had that fire in 2K6. Aggressive ass firemen watered down 70% of my arsenal. Best believe insurance is involved ever since then.

    Y’all remember the Izod cardigans? Lacoste caught the bootleg action EARLY.

    Jerz I loved them cheeseboot mocs but they got filthy in the club. I used many a eraser on them too..

  12. Children of Sanchez says:

    damn, I am just imagining DP kickin somebody in the face with those beefy moccasins and a sweater vest

  13. Stevemega says:

    Bittersweet moment: Gassed that Ruck likes my current work shoe, but deflated by the fact that he shit all over Eastlands which i rocked in high school on the daily

  14. the_dallas says:

    Pick yourself up Stevemega, we all have had our various moments of youthful fugazi gear.

    I remember how badly I wanted a pair of Devils jeans and how my dad clowned me for wearing them because I didn’t understand the subtext. My dad also shredded me for wearing an 8-ball jacket.

    Sean Price is now like our figurative father… He clowns our folly and rarely applauds our victories, but that makes us better, stronger men at the end of the day.

  15. Howfresh-

    Word. Had to be the burgundy. & the cats that had that flair, out here @ least, bought a matching belt. That made those shoes virtually unstoppable.

  16. the_dallas says:

    The super killer no filler joints were the oxblood(burgundy) with the black soles, but that is just the shit I be on
