Born in 1952 as the Abington Shoe Company, Timberland has grown into a global icon known for its rugged outdoor footwear, apparel, and accessories. The brand’s journey began in New Hampshire, USA, where Nathan Swartz, a humble shoemaker, laid the foundation for a company that would eventually redefine durability, craftsmanship, and style.
In 1973, Timberland introduced the iconic Timberland Yellow Boot—originally called the "Timberland Waterproof Boot." This boot revolutionized the industry with its waterproof leather and robust construction, designed for harsh weather conditions. Its signature wheat color soon became synonymous with quality, making it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and urban trendsetters alike. By the 1980s, Timberland had expanded beyond work boots, diversifying into a lifestyle brand that blended function with fashion.
