2024-11-29
Originally known as the 'Timberland 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot', the Hornet riding boot was originally designed for outdoor workers and is now a stylish and versatile shoe.

     Legend has it that the origins of the Bumblebee riding boot can be traced back to 1973. At that time, Sidney (the son of Timberland's founder) designed the bumblebee boots, named “Timberland,” with the purpose of keeping outdoor workers safe in cold, snowy conditions. Designed with an innovative suede upper and thick rubber sole, the boots became a hit item at the time and were copied by other brands.
     Later, over time, the Hornet riding boot gradually transformed from a workhorse for outdoor workers to a fashion favorite. In the 1980s, Italian rich kids were crazy about them, and in the 1990s, the American rap scene also started a bumblebee riding boots craze. It is said that Tupac wore bumblebee boots, which tripled its sales in the United States. A lot of celebrities in China have been wearing bumblebee boots, making them a trend icon.
     In China, bumblebee boots also have a long history. As early as in the Warring States period, the militarist Sun Bin invented the high leather, that is, the later boots. The modern Bumblebee riding boots are a fusion of traditional and fashionable elements in their design, making them a must-have item for fashion lovers.
     From the material point of view, the upper of the Hornet riding boots is made of full grain leather and frosted leather, which is not easy to crease and is very comfortable to touch. Inside, the lining and insole are also made of pure cowhide leather, and the tongue and the body of the shoe are joined together for full warmth. The sole is a rubber outsole in the same color, which is non-slip and waterproof.
