About the original
Timberland's Waterproof Field Boot is a mid-height lace-up hiker built on the brand's waterproof nubuck last, with a padded collar, hook-and-eyelet lacing, and a lugged rubber outsole. Timberland was founded in Boston in 1973 by Nathan Swartz, who introduced the first injection-molded waterproof leather boot that same year. For this Fall/Winter 2021 three-way collaboration, Supreme paired Timberland with the New York Yankees, the baseball club founded in 1901, printing the interlocking-NY monogram across a jacquard side panel on black nubuck and adding a red box logo at the ankle. Underneath, it is the production Field Boot. Supreme priced it at $248 against $210 for the standard Waterproof Field Boot.
About Timberland

In 1973 the company introduced the first injection-molded waterproof leather boot, branded as the Timberland, and adopted the name as its own.
