A new London exhibition charts the history of the yellow Timberland boot in music and fashion culture
Everyone’s familiar with yellow Timberlands – the humble construction boot that became a style icon worn by countless music stars from Jay-Z to Rihanna. There’s no denying the yellow boot is a cultural icon, and it’s kept a firm hold in music and fashion from the ’90s, ’00s through to today. Now it’s turning 45, with a special sapphire-detail anniversary collection, a collaboration with global photography platform Unsplash and a London exhibition to boot. ‘Celebrate the Icons’ at Phonica Records in Soho (November 9-10) includes rare archive boots made in collaboration with Stussy, Supreme, Off White, Opening Ceremony, OVO and Pharrell Williams. Whether you’re a fashion maven, a lover of ’90s hip hop and R&B, or maybe you’re a massive Drake fan or you’re interested in rave culture, Timberland’s exhibition is sure to be both nostalgic and inspiring.
