As consumer journalist Rob Walker reports in his book Buying In, “the legend goes that the first ‘urban’ buyers of Timberland boots were New York drug dealers – guys who had to stand on the street all night and needed the best possible footwear to keep them warm and dry.”

Rap magazine Vibe reported that “everyone from thugs to step teams were stalking, walking in their six-inch construction boot,” as they “stood up beautifully to urban elements like concrete, barbed wire, and broken glass.”

As a brand priding itself on its rugged, salt-of-the-earth roots, Timberland actively tried to distance itself from this new-found street cred. Timberland’s CEO Jeffrey Swartz (and grandson of the company’s founder Nathan Swarz) told The New York Times in the early ’90s that “If you want to buy us and you are not our target customer, we don’t have a point of distribution that speaks to your lifestyle.”(it wasn't Hilfiger who said it....it was Timberland )

Chicago is about 70% the size of NYC. NYC is about 300 square miles. Chicago is about 210 square miles. NYC is about 8 mil in the city, 20 mil outside. Chicago is about 3 mil in the city, 10 mil outside. They're comparable. NYC is barely bigger than it landwise, but population wise it's about twice, which is why NYC is much more dense and crowded. In Chicago its still urban and has a big city feel but, you can breathe there.
