Must Read

Timberland has set out on a new expedition by partnering with Reliance Brands through a license cum distribution agreement for India. The brand opened its first Timberland store at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. The exclusive store features a product line that spans footwear, apparel and accessories for men, women and children.

The journey began in 1952 with the start of the Abington shoe company in USA. In 1973, the brand as the world knows it got its name from the first waterproof shoe they created called Timberland. What started off as a shoe back then went on to become the world`s leading outdoor brand. Timberland is now available at over 130 countries around the globe.

To mark their official entry into the country, Timberland launched `Unsung Heros – not starring John Abraham`. The project aims to identify and celebrate all those who truly contribute to nature, behind the scenes. In the words of John Abraham who shall play the role of presenting these people to the world, "They are the real heroes, but they are not actors." Renowned documentary film maker Mike Pandey is also closely associated with the project.

"The Unsung Heroes project clearly reflects the partnership between two socially committed business giants, Timberland and Reliance. To us Unsung Heroes is not an event, it is a movement. And with John and Mike agreeing to partner with Timberland`s first CSR initiate in the country, we couldn`t have asked for more.” said Darshan Mehta, President and CEO, Reliance Brands Ltd.

"Being an actor and a nature lover, I felt a total connection the Unsung Heroes project. There are people who deserve appreciation and adulation for their efforts, who are never seen on camera. To me these are the true heroes. I feel honored that Mike and I have been given this opportunity to work with Timberland in finding the Unsung Heroes across India” said John Abraham.

Timberland also plans to quickly trek to all major cities across India, in the near future.

Timberland markets products under the Timberland, Timberland PRO, SmartWool, Timberland Boot Company, howies and IPATH brands.
