FASHION PICKS: KANYE WEST & HIS TIMBERLANDS….
Saturday, July 18, 2009

Timberland Boots are definitely the go to shoe for most dudes and in our opinion, they will never go out of style. Superstar Kanye West has been spotted various times over the past couple of months rocking his timbs. This is kind of surprising coming from someone who has his own sneaker line with Nike and Louis Vuitton, but hey - you can’t knock him for always switching it up.
Whether you want to dress them up or dress them down, you can definitely find some Timbs that match your own personal style. Peep some of our Timberland picks below. Are you feelin’ the way Kanye rock’d his?

*1. ALL BLACK Premium Scuffproof - $155 // 2. Cruise Master II Chukka - $77.75 // 3. White Asparagus Premium - $106 // 4. Wheat Nubuck Premium - $155 // 5. Men’s Earthkeepers™ in Tan - $119.99 (also comes in Black & Dark Brown) // 6. Black Smooth Premium - $106 // 7. Waterproof Red Briar Burnished - $99.99 // 8. Peanut Smooth - $106

I’m NOT feeling 2 - 8. But I love Kanye’s style and I think he rock’d them very well.

I agree. I don’t even own a pair of them. I’m usually not into Timbs and Sneakers like that anyway.

Timbs aren’t classic to me, they went out of style around 1999. No guy should be wearing Timbs right now unless he’s doing yard work or wearing them for some other functional purpose, step your game up and grow up. Kanye can get away with it because that’s Yeezy and we know he can dress. And truth be told it’s not the best look on him either. Just my two cents.

Love Timbs they are very classic when you wear them correctly. Feeling #’s 1, 3, 5. Neutrals are the best for the upcoming season. Look out for neutral blazers, jackets, jeans and more. The black man always looks good in these tones.
ps. I know this is a post for the guys, but I still like those boots. ha!

How can Timberlands go out of style? Some people are clueless. Stay out the hood and you will see different types of Timbs like #5. Those are reminiscent of the classic Frye Boot, which I know Angel likes because I read her twitter page.
Kanye looks fresh. Loving him in the all black outfit.

I adore Kanye he’s SEXY no doubt, BUT those timbs mixed in with ….those braclets?! NO. For him to be a “fashion designer”, he SURE haven’t been dressing as it lately. I’m use to seeing Kanye “BRING THAT LOOK”–he aint’ been. Not to bring HER up but, when he was with Ms Lexi…he dressed as such—and ALL OF THE TIME. Come back Ye. And is it me or does he HAVE the same outfit on in those 2 pics? I think he’s just switch up the jackets…SMH.

Timberland is a shoe and apparel company, they make more than the construction boot, which is what I’m referring to, and not because I need to “stay out of the hood” or whatever that means. They make loafers, deck shoes, etc - of course those types of shoes are not what I’m talking about, but I think we’re past the twinkies that Naughty by Nature and every 90’s rapper used to rock faithfully.

I like the fact that Angel reads the comments on CL. I asked her about what Kanye was wearing a couple weeks back. They didn’t look like Timbs to me then. I think my boo will like #5 in black. They are clean.

I agree with the posts saying Timb boots are out of style. I live in Canada and the only people who still wear Timbs are the guys who still wear XXL tees (down to their knees) and baggyy pants (don’t know why people still dress like that). I honestly don’t think it looks that bad on Kanye but I still think Timbs have been out of style for the longest time.

Timbs are definitely hot some places and not others due to weather constraints. But overall, I agree that they are a classic boot. Some people need to stop letting trends define them and do them. Kanye looks great in all 3 outfits - showing you that Timbs are IN FACT still in style.

Kanye is the man. He can wear wtf he wants. Not in style? lol people are such followers. When you get to a certain age you will learn that what’s in style is whatever YOU like.

Who wants to wear construction boots with casual clothes ? They’re a no-no.
To each their own, but I think they are played out and should not be worn unless you are doing hard construction work.

I still rock Tims because I’m from the D. Winter is a b**** when it comes to MI, so I need my Tims because they’re only boots that can take it.

kanye is a foolish and damn idiot!!!!!!
why would you put money in the pocket of a racist??
all you who buy timbs are equally as dumb. you are paying the maker of timberland when he literally hates you and thinks you should not be wearing his shoes. you guys make him richer every damn day. although, he can not stand you he laughs at you guys all the way to the bank. when will black ppl wake the eff up!!???
for real get it together.
timberland does not want his line worn by blacks but yet the cycle continues and every damn negro in the hood and projects owns a pair.

For real, this niggha didn’t do anything serious. He just restyled/colored a shoe that already exists. It’s not a good look to be coppin’ somebody else’s talent. Also, his version doesn’t look good at all…I wouldn’t buy them if I saw them in payless~

Black folks always buying “THINGS” and never investing in your future. We wear the latest fashions, drive the biggest cars, have the raggediest homes, no money, no job, no businesses, and no future.
NEXT!

@ 27 - I guess you can say that Timberlands are a classic boot that every man should have in their closet. But NOT because of their “style” but because of their functionality. One person mentioned they live in Michigan so they use it because of the weather. My ex moved to Ann Arbor and bought Timberlands for that precise reason. Current boyfriend owns a pair and only wears them for when he has heavy duty work to do around the house.
Now Kanye looks good and I like the style all put together FOR THE DAY. But he is Kanye and if you saw him in a club or lounge anywhere, I don’t care what he is wearing, no one would probably notice the shoes he is wearing because of his celebrity status. But think about it, where are YOU going that you are wearing Timberlands out at night?! Not going anywhere nice if they let you in wearing TIMBERLANDS.
All that said, again, Kanye did put it together well so I won’t knock it just because I don’t really like Timberland boots on guys (unless they are working).
