"Put rings on everything, wear timbs on every scene"

1973 marked the year of a revolution, the creation of timbs. Nathan Swartz produced the iconic shoe, a leather waterproof boot,made solely for the working man not knowing how impactful it would soon become. Overtime the boots popularity began to rise, until the 1990's. When the art of gangsta rap became the new style and out came the timbs, the once known working boot became the new symbol for the urban community. There wasn't one person who didn't own a pair,or two, or three. In the early 2000's they even began to make it a little fancy, adding gucci labels and things of that nature to the boot, not the company itself but the wearers. The boot itself has been a symbol in the hip-hop community for a long time and now your starting to see it elsewhere. People that you normally wouldn't think to wear such an urban look is embracing it and loving it, I always said the Hip-Hop world can take something and turn it into worldwide craze. Im sure Nathan Swartz could have never imagined how large his work boot would become. Its not only a staple in the urban communities but now its a staple period. I myself get a new pair every year.
