I think there are pictures of dudes wearing Timbs with Mighty Shirt Kings custom sweatshirts,coca cola shirts, Benneton rugbys,and Dapper Dan suits from the same era you're talking about.
Gonna try to find the pics.....the clothes should date the pictures. Beleive it was people from Harlem.

My man told me the first place he saw Timbs were at a spot (now)called Tent N Trails in the city. Place for hikers and hunters located in Manhattan. Said people who were getting money found out about the store

I remember my uncles use to wear them as work boots.

Then I start seeing east coast cats particularly in the New York and Philly hip hop scene rocking them and they blew up in the mainstream.

I had a pair circa early 2000s era, I remember those shyts was heavy and uncomfortable AF.
