Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — Timberland
World Hiker Waterproof Boot (A5MUY001)
About the original
The Timberland World Hiker is a leather mid-cut hiking boot built on the brand's Euro Hiker lineage — Timberland was founded in 1952 by Nathan Swartz as the Abington Shoe Company in Abington, Massachusetts, and introduced its first waterproof leather hiker in the 1970s. The FW18 Supreme collab uses the World Hiker Front Country chassis (style TB0A1U4E001): a waterproof full-grain leather upper with GORE-TEX lining, seam-sealed construction, padded collar, D-ring lacing hardware, and a Vibram rubber outsole with lugged tread. Each pair shipped with two extra sets of laces and a red Supreme box logo applied to the side panel. The standard World Hiker uses the same chassis in Timberland's retail black colorway without the box logo.
About Timberland
Timberland is an American footwear and apparel company founded in 1952 by Nathan Swartz as the Abington Shoe Company in Abington, Massachusetts, and later headquartered in Stratham, New Hampshire. In 1973 the company introduced the first injection-molded waterproof leather boot, branded as the Timberland, and adopted the name as its own. The wheat-colored 6-Inch Premium became a staple of 1990s hip-hop fashion, construction trades, and New York street dress. The company, now part of VF Corporation, also produces the Earthkeepers and PRO lines. Supreme and Timberland have collaborated on seasonal footwear and outerwear since 2002.
