Timberland is bringing its iconic “Yellow Boot” to Detroit.
The footwear company announced the opening date for its first Detroit location, set for Friday, Nov. 14.
The store is located at 1217 Woodward Ave., across the street from Bedrock’s new Hudson’s site tower.
Opening weekend festivities on the following Saturday and Sunday include a sweepstakes to win a special pair of Detroit-themed boots, a boot customization station with laces, charms, patches, a 13-foot long “Big Boot” for photos, and more.
The 1,400-square-foot store is Timberland’s only in the Detroit area and will include men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes.
The Timberland boot was first introduced in 1973 and would go on to become fashionable in the hip-hop scene in the 1980s and ’90s.
The company is headquartered in New Hampshire.
