Future History
Timberland Takes Green Strides
Like the majestic tree silhouette permanently etched into their products, Timberland will forever be rooted in American heritage. Their hardwearing and even harder-working boots first entered the workforce almost 50 years ago, before burgeoning global appeal and an unexpected demographic tilt transformed ‘Timbs’ into genuine sub-cultural artefacts. Today, the latest GreenStride branch growing from Timberland’s broad canopy is dropping seeds that will help direct us all towards a greener future. Just like H-Town promised all those years ago, get ready to start ‘knockin’ boots’ with the bluest-collar in the workwear world!
