Timberland, Clarks, Red Wing, Chippewa, Adams Boots, Bear AKU, Trezeta, Dolomite, Asolo, Scarpa etc. It was the hiking boot/brown shoe era and David Z was the main force behind the trend. I remember the full Wu-Tang clan coming in the store which subsequently led me to spend all of my paychecks on every color wallabee the store had to offer. AZ and Nas put me up on Asolos, Mase and Diddy put me up on Dolomite, and Jay-Z used to sign and leave his old Construction Timbs for me every-time he re-upped with a new pair. I was 14 years old rocking a new pair of boots/shoes/kicks every week and I quickly became the go-to kid for any kicks in my junior high school.”
