The Notorious B.I.G<\/a> and Timberland<\/a> are teaming up for the 30th anniversary of Biggie’s Ready to Die<\/em> album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The partnership is the perfect marriage and was years in the making. Biggie’s style extended beyond his music and became a cultural icon, specifically for his affinity for Timberland boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Timbs, specifically the 6-inch boot, became a staple in the New York hip-hop scene during the 1990s, symbolizing street fashion. Biggie Smalls played a significant role in popularizing Timberlands through his music and public appearances. In “Suicidal Thoughts,” Biggie rapped the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It don’t make sense, going to heaven with the goodie-goodies Biggie’s relationship with Timberland also reflected the broader cultural trends of hip-hop embracing workwear and street-ready attire. The boots, originally designed for manual labor, became an iconic piece of fashion in urban culture, thanks in part to Biggie’s influence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Biggie’s frequent use of the boots and his lyricism embracing the 6-inch boot helped shape how the brand was perceived, turning them into a symbol of authenticity and toughness in the world of rap and street culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the 30th anniversary of the debut, Timbs and Biggie’s estate are linking up for a collaborative collection, releasing exclusively at Foot Locker on September 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep it locked to Snkrs Day<\/a> on Instagram and the sneaker release dates<\/a> page to stay on top of the latest news and drops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
