That’s a good question. I got my first pair for Christmas in 92. My mother knew they were hot at the time and got them. I had no idea. Just realized I been rocking them for almost 30 years

They were hot in the streets first. This was back when army surplus gear was in coming off the New Jack era
Even then, who was the first one to popularize it??

Just figured it was like Wallabys when Ghost and Rae hyped them up and everyone else went along with it.

Staple of NY street wear and the NY rap scene was the most popping at the time.

Timberland are shoes worn in cold places. Hip hop culture and streets played a role in it.
