Where Can You Buy Timberland Boots

In 1952, Nathan Swartz, a shoemaker from Ukraine,[3] bought half-interest in the Abington Shoe Company in Boston, Massachusetts.[4] Swartz and his sons eventually acquired the remaining shares. Through the 1960s the company specialized in making private-label boots and shoes for other brands.[4] In 1969, Abington moved to Newmarket, New Hampshire[5] and focused on producing waterproof boots made with injection molding, capable of withstanding the winters of the region.[4]

As Timberland boots grew in popularity through the 1980s and 1990s, they were taken up by musicians, hip-hop artists, and other cultural figures, gaining the nickname, "the Air Jordans of boots"[16] and becoming "the required footwear of the inner-urban set".[17] Prominent artists who featured them in songs or music videos included Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z.[8][18]

On 3 December 2014, the now-defunct web site Naha Daily published an article that quoted Timberland's (unnamed) CEO as saying he didn't want to see "Blacks and Latinos" buying and wearing the company's boots:

Timberland new appointed Ceo lost it at a earnings press conference and revealed that hed rather not see Blacks and Latinos in his boots in the summer time admitting that its just tacky to wear boots in the Summer.

Timberlands former Ceo declined to comment stating that he doesnt want to say if he disagrees nor agrees with the new Ceos statement. Rappers such as Notorious B.I.G. mention the Timberland brand in many of his hit songs and black people are already thinking hes probably rolling in his grave after hearing that black people are actually wearing boots in the summer time. 041b061a72
