Always an Icon.
For more than fifty years, Timberland’s Original Yellow Boot has stood as a symbol of strength, resilience, and fearlessness. Now, the legendary filmmaker Spike Lee, grime pioneer Skepta, and boundary-defying “it-girl” Kiko Mizuhara join forces for Timberland’s latest campaign, “Advice of an Icon”, celebrating the enduring legacy of this unmistakable boot.
When it first appeared in 1973, the Original Yellow Boot transformed the market. Crafted for workers who demanded durability in challenging environments, it combined toughness, waterproof protection, and comfort in a way that had never been seen before.
This Fall/Winter 2025, Timberland honours that heritage through a campaign shot by Gabriel Moses, a director and photographer celebrated for his distinct visual language, capturing each of the three icons.
Spike Lee, whose fearless storytelling has left an indelible mark on culture for decades, brings his unmistakable presence to the campaign. Skepta, a figure whose influence transcends music — shaping fashion, art, and self-expression, while taking grime to a global stage — wears the Original Yellow Boot in images that echo the conviction and resilience defining his work. Finally, Kiko Mizuhara, famed for her genre-defying creativity and boundary-breaking style, embodies the boot’s spirit of originality and fearless expression.
With its signature wheat colour, unparalleled craftsmanship, and enduring comfort, the Original Yellow Boot has become instantly recognisable around the world. Advice of an Icon pays tribute to this legacy, presenting the boot not merely as a wardrobe staple, but as a true cultural icon — bold, enduring, and unapologetically original.
