Timberland boots are an example of that odd phenomenon of utilitarian shoes being embraced by hip fashion gurus. Timberland's story began all the way back in 1918 in a small Boston, Massachusetts shoe company. The same happened with Doc Martens when they were first introduced to the market. While Doc Martens started out as boots for the common British workingman and quickly moved to the punk scene, Timberland boots have made a similar transition from hiking shoes to the footwear of choice for hip-hop pioneers.

From their humble beginnings, you'd never guess that Timberland boots would grow into the pop phenomenon they are today. While the name Timberland didn't come about until 1973, the history of the company dates back to man named Nathan Swartz who was making boots as early as the 1920s. Seeing a need for waterproof boots, leather boots, Swartz began producing them by hand and selling them in his native Massachusetts.

The technology behind Timberland boots is what makes them so special. Instead of the traditional way of making boots--stitching the uppers into the rubber soles--Swartz began fusing the soles directly into the uppers. This created a boot without any holes, thus allowing them to be completely waterproof. Timberland boots were one of the first to be able to make this claim.

Timberland boots come with different styles like Timberland boat shoes which are named after its boat design, Timberland Classic boots and Timberland Chukka boots. In the '70s and '80s, Timberland boots became increasingly popular, and the company expanded its production to shoes and other types of clothing. All of their products now bear the classic Timberland logo, a symbol of rugged quality those appeals not only to outdoor enthusiasts, but now also to those in the hip-hop jet set. Timberland remains a family company to this day, now run by the grandson of the founder.

Welcome, to my site dedicated to Air Force ones and Air Jordan’s... we are the nets top source on the History of Air Force ones and Air Jordan’s, Info on custom air force ones and air Jordan’s, contact information on where and how to purchase wholesale air force ones and air Jordan’s.... and a daily updates source on the release dates for new Air Force ones and Nike Air Jordan’s.

...... Here is a little History on the two greatest shoes of all time...In 1982 Nike, an all time, all generation brand of sneakers, released a sneaker variety and called it The Air Force Ones. Imagine 25 years have gone by since its first launch but it has not lost its charm. This shoe gets its name from the plane Air Force One, which carries the President of the United States.

Even today many of us await the new variety launch of this brand eagerly. Well, when it was first launched this shoe was the first of its kind to have a full length air sole. This is the same year when the Hip Hop culture was very popular and these shoes gained popularity with the Hippies. As this culture was connected with the people of New York and also to the Basketball scene, it became popular among all the people. Many of you may be avid collectors of this brand, but I’m sure that even the best of you won’t remember how many varieties have been released so far. It’s because Nike has launched many versions including celebrity exclusives, special holiday shoes and limited color ways. Varieties like low mid top and high top are present in this variety of Nike shoes.

Seeing the popularity of Air Force Ones, Nike decided to launch another variety in 1985 - three years after the Air Force Ones were released - which they named as the Air Jordan. They decided to change the color and style of basketball shoes which were conventionally white in color. They came out with colors like black and red which were not only uncommon but also considered devil colors.

They named this new launch Air Jordan and made Michael Jordan the brand ambassador for their product. Initially there was a lot of apprehension among the people but as we all know it went on to become one of the most famous brands of Nike. Even today people just love to look at it and desire to own it. A youngster who goes to buy an Air Jordan even today looks as excited as a youngster of the yester years did. It’s this magic that Air Jordan was successful in creating. Air Jordan was started off with basketball shoes and later endorsed in many other products as well like sneakers, casual footwear, exclusive wears, women’s wear, men’s wear, children’s wear, bags, accessories and many such things. Many of you must have worn or possessed these products especially the sneakers at least once in your lifetime. Nike gave up the ownership of Air Jordan in the year 1997, but even today all of us remember Air Jordan as Nike’s Air Jordan.

The popularity is ever increasing for both brands of Nike. The new launches, the varieties, the sale, auctions etc are still awaited eagerly with the people of all genres. Air Force Ones and Air Jordans will forever be the leading trend setter amongst tennis show design. Air Force ones and Air Jordans will never die!!!
