It all began in 1952 when the experienced shoemaker Nathan Schwartz, born into a fourth-generation shoemaker family in Odessa, purchased the Abington Shoe Company factory, where he had spent three decades perfecting his craft. Timberland was officially founded in 1973 in the small town of New Market, New Hampshire, with the goal of creating the ultimate durable and completely waterproof boots. The brand soon became synonymous with high-quality footwear and apparel suitable for both outdoor adventures and urban style. What truly sets Timberland apart is its unwavering commitment to ecological and responsible solutions.

The distinctive yellow color, affectionately referred to as "honey" by the brand, has its roots in the 1970s when Schwartz decided to introduce a new hue for the company's work boots. He was captivated by the color yellow, seeing it as a symbol of adventure, energy, and vitality. The success of the yellow boots was cemented by Timberland's proprietary technology for seamlessly bonding leather uppers and rubber soles, a development that was both innovative and patented. Thanks to this technology, the exceptional quality that has been tested over decades remains unchanged, and each new boot model becomes increasingly diverse in terms of shape and color palette. The yellow boots experienced a surge in popularity during the 1990s when they were embraced by American hip-hop artists. Today, the yellow boots remain a timeless essential, combining comfort and durability. A pair of yellow boots can always be found in the everyday and stage wardrobes of celebrities such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Jennifer Lopez, Colin Farrell, Rihanna, Reese Witherspoon, and even Meghan Markle.

Timberland has made sustainability a core priority. In 2007, the company launched the Timberland Green Index program, providing customers with information on the environmental impact of their footwear choices. Since 2011, the brand has exclusively sourced leather materials from factories that have received silver or gold ratings and classifications from the Leather Working Group—a rigorous environmental assessment for leather products. Beyond materials, Timberland has been steadily transitioning to renewable energy in its manufacturing processes.

Since their inception in 1973, Yellow Boots have undergone minimal changes. The dense-grain nubuck leather with waterproof seams and a pressure-molded sole firmly attached to the upper made these boots completely waterproof. This unwavering commitment to quality and the use of premium materials persist to this day, giving rise to the new Colour Blast collection. This collection, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the iconic yellow boots, features vibrant color models crafted from premium leather. They inherit the comfort of the original, incorporating features such as a fatigue-preventing insole, PrimaLoft® insulation composed of 90% recycled materials, and a robust rubber sole.

Yellow Timberland boots have remained the brand's flagship product—a symbol of durability, style, and quality. Over five decades, these boots have undergone various transformations while staying true to their original essence. The Yellow Boots are not merely a pair of robust yellow boots; they have become a classic, allowing anyone to express themselves while staying authentic. This is footwear for the bold.
