Timberland Celebrates the Icons With an Archive Exhibition in London

Introduced by Sidney Swartz in 1973, the yellow boot first came about as a hard-wearing construction boot built to last. Over time, the boot was adopted by fashion, streetwear and music cultures and became a staple within 90s hip hop. Throughout the past three decades, the yellow boot has been championed by icons such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Nas, Mobb Deep, Drake, J.Lo, Rihanna, Beyonce and many more. The Timberland influence within this realm is still strong today as the aspirational yellow boot continues to have a firm presence within the music industries and fashion culture.

To celebrate the launch of its 45^th anniversary boot in November, Timberland will be showcasing an exhibition at the Vinyl Factory in central London. The exhibition will include rare archive boots in collaboration with Stussy, Supreme, Off-White, Opening Ceremony, OVO and Pharrell Williams. Alongside this will be a Timberland 'Hall of Fame' displaying icons who have worn Timberland over the past three decades, as well as the unveiling of the 45^th anniversary limited edition boot, which will be available to buy at the beginning of November.

The exhibition will be open to the public from 11am - 6pm on 9^th and 10^th November
