You can get timbs for the low now

Never had a pair.

Were always too big and bulky-looking for my tastes.

Bought a pair a few years back, never again. The most uncomfortable boots I’ve ever owned, feels like you wearing bricks on your feet.

Which is weird cuz Timberland PRO(actual work boots) are super comfortable. Wore them when I was in construction

Nike, tobacco brands

Tobacco industry was making billions before hip hop even existed

Only pair I have currently are the Timberland Pros I use daily for work. Comfortable enough but next pair of work boots will be Red Wing

 

[Womb Raider]

Never liked Timbs, they aren't comfortable or warm

Now Ugg boots? Awww man get me some of them

The consumer power of our people I guess. Anyone has news on what Timberland has been doing during the whole George Floyd protest?

New York alone accounts for 95% of their income.

More like New York, New Jersey and Philly

You can throw on just about anything and not think about it. I use to wear timbs in the summer time, but it's too hot for all that, plus that's some long denim shorts 1999 kinda shyt.

Not going to lie to you I have never rocked Timbs in the summer ever. Maybe that’s why mines never last.


Another fun fact. All my Tim’s are usually other colors. I never had construction color.

At the end of the day..

You could do this same video for any other brands. Grand Puba-Tommy Hil, Run DMC-Adidas, various rappers-alcohol

Unless you have an viable alternative, it's going to stay like that

TBH, 90s Black designers were also guilty of ripping off the community. A lot of urban wear is ridiculously overpriced

It's not even quality, you're just paying for the logo & the so called status of ownership

Everyone in VA wore them also.

Everyone in VA wore them also.

Seriously? I thought y’all rocked everything that DC people rocked

Can we list how many non-black companies black people have made into billions dollar brands?

It even surprises me why nikkas don’t start their own sneaker companies. There is definitely a demand for it within the community. Michael Jordan net worth is two billion yet Nike makes three billion.........a year from Air Jordan’s. Somebody please help me make sense of this. Why not just branch out and start our own shyt, instead of partnering with some cac company that only breaks you a piece. Why don’t Jordan, Diddy and Jay Z or something team up. Age old myth that we can’t eat without a morherfukking cracker been at the head of the table.
