so the japanese get, make and wear all the kewl stuff. the valley may have web2, but the japanese got yakuza style. like the rocksmith crew gotta luv that shit. take an old style item, bang it up, make something new. just as band out of outsiders is also doin with the sperry topsider boat shoes.
now timberlands is one of those brands that never really grew up.
private equity needed to get their hands on it instead of the discount department stores. and then those awful rapper big boots.
i had the near exact pictured 3 eyed lug pair but in a black nubuck.
i've actually looked for the same pair ever since, and that would have been like 1994.
but this xl collab with timberland, finally looks like a proper timberland boot, which ironically they couldnt make themselves.
can get these kicks for 23k yen large, bout $258 aussie.
nearly exactly the same price as my black nubucks cost in 94.
