Titled The Conversation, this good-looking film created by agency Opus United and directed by Nicholas Lam through Hound, explains the trusty boot’s unusual story.
“We didn’t know what you’d do with it, we didn’t realise what you were going to build, so thank you!” says the VO.
With humble, rather provincial beginnings as sturdy footwear designed for blue collar workers, particularly those in construction, it was black culture and hip-hop music in New York that grew the Timberland name, turning it into a fashion icon with a global footprint.
