When you have a closet full of shoes you designed, the obvious choice is not to ever wear them again, right? Such is the life of Kanye West. Forget the Yeezys and The Louies, Mr. West set the dial on the Delorean to "NYC 1994" with his choice of Timberland 6" Wheat boots a.k.a. "Cheese Tims" for the BET Awards and has subsequently been seen in the Black and Brown versions at various events.

Is this a conscious style choice? A clever marketing ploy by Timberland? Maybe it's experiment by Kanye West to test his influence on the sheep-like public. Whichever answer fits the bill, there will assuredly be a spike in folks rocking work boots this fall. If you have a gig in construction you're already ahead of the curve. Timberland 6" boots available at Amazon.
