50 Years of Timberland's Yellow Boot: GCC Celebrities Lead the Celebration Timberland Marks 50 Years of Yellow Boot Legacy with Celebs in GCC Spotlight 50 Years of Timberland's Yellow Boot: GCC Celebrities Lead the Celebration by Rave Staff 4 December 2024 Timberland has continued the momentum from last year's global celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of its Original Yellow Boot with the unveiling of the local chapter of the ICONIC campaign in the GCC. First launched in 1973, the Original Yellow Boot has become synonymous with resilience, timeless style, and global cultural significance. As the boot turns 50, Timberland has partnered with four powerful creatives—Naomi Campbell, Teddy Swims, Slawn, and Kai-Isaiah Jamal—to celebrate the spirit of fearlessness, empowerment, and bold self-expression that these figures embody, much like the boot itself. The ICONIC campaign reinforces the message of being true to oneself and celebrates individuality, traits that resonate deeply with the cultural phenomenon that Timberland’s Original Yellow Boot has become. Each figure in the campaign represents a beacon of authenticity, from the legendary Naomi Campbell to the soulful Teddy Swims, the artistic Slawn, and the thought-provoking Kai-Isaiah Jamal. Their collective presence emphasizes that, just like the boot, each person is original in their own right. The heart of the campaign is captured through the lens of photographer Jamie Morgan, who immortalized Naomi Campbell in a powerful visual statement wearing nothing but the Original Yellow Boot. Morgan, who first photographed Campbell as a young model in 1984, brings this iconic moment full circle, highlighting the timelessness of both the supermodel and the boot. Shot in a monochrome palette, the images focus on the authenticity and enduring allure of both the figure and the boot. “We’ve seen tremendous energy behind the brand since our anniversary, with several luxury fashion collaborations this year alone,” says Maisie Willoughby, Chief Marketing Officer for Timberland. “The ICONIC campaign is an extension of that energy, signifying a fresh direction for the brand and fueling our status as the arbiter of boot culture. This campaign is incredibly bold and authentic, and Timberland has always been about embracing originality; and what is more iconic than the Original Yellow Boot?” The Original Yellow Boot has always been more than just footwear; it’s a statement of resilience, quality, and enduring style. With its distinct wheat color and unmatched craftsmanship, the boot has become a symbol of youth culture and has remained a cornerstone in the fashion world for five decades. This latest campaign solidifies the boot's legacy and paves the way for the next 50 years, celebrating the unique combination of craftsmanship and cultural impact that Timberland continues to embody. In Dubai, Timberland takes the celebration further by offering an exclusive in-store experience. Customers purchasing the 6-inch boot at select stores can personalize their boots with unique customization options, transforming the iconic Yellow Boot into a personal expression of style. This special in-store experience is available at Timberland stores located at The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Dubai Hills Mall. With collaborations like the recent partnership with Louis Vuitton, Timberland continues to solidify its place as a leader in boot culture. The ICONIC campaign, supported by digital, social media, and event activations, further enhances the brand’s legacy and commitment to innovation. Timberland’s Original Yellow Boot is available now at its storefronts across the region, continuing to inspire generations to embrace their original selves.

One of Earth’s Last Unspoiled Marine Frontiers Comes Into Focus by Rave Staff 1 Jun 2025 Crystal-clear waters stretching endlessly, coral reefs pulsing with life, and untouched islands waiting to be explored - welcome to the Saudi Red Sea. This emerging global destination is making waves not just for its beauty, but for its mindful approach to the environment – with development rooted in sustainability, and the protection and preservation of marine life at its core. On World Oceans Day, Saudi celebrates these most vital ecosystems. Few places better embody this year’s call for action than the Saudi Red Sea, one of the world’s last unexplored sanctuaries. Stretching along Saudi’s western coastline, this pristine aquatic world is home to over 300 species of coral and more than 250 species of fish, hawksbill turtles, dugongs, dolphins, sharks and sea birds. Visitors to the towns and resorts dotting this stunning coastline can partake of one of a kind experiences - ranging from diving to turtle nesting and hatching, to coral blooms and more. The Saudi Red Sea is a living laboratory, where visitors can see the not just the beauty and fragility of the ecosystem, but also nature’s resilience, when it is held paramount. Preserving Nature’s Masterpiece As Saudi welcomes greater numbers to its shores, it does so with a focus on responsible tourism. Alongside entities such as Red Sea Global (RSG), Saudi is building destinations that put the environment at their heart. Through the largest environmental baseline study ever conducted in the region, spanning more than 1800 kilometers of coastline and 90 offshore islands, a respect for the environment permeates every development along this coast. The Saudi Red Sea’s coral reefs, considered some of the most climate-resilient in the world, are the showstoppers of the entire endeavor. Restoration programs, coral gardening, and technology-driven reef monitoring are ensuring that this extraordinary underwater world not only survives but thrives. Rachel Moore, PADI Ambassadiver, called the Saudi Red Sea one of the few healthy places left on our plant, saying “diving in the red sea has made me incredibly hopeful – the corals here are extremely resilient, the coral coverage on the dive sites extensive… [I] was surprised to see how much living coral there is.” Above and Below the Surface Adventure seekers and nature lovers alike will find endless opportunities to connect with the ocean here. Snorkeling and diving unveil a kaleidoscope of life beneath the surface; from sea turtles gliding gracefully over the reefs, to vibrant fish darting through the corals. Divers accustomed to untouched sites are awed by the experience, with PADI Ambassador Nikhil Kandhari finding it “absolutely incredible [with] pristine waters, beautiful corals, [one can see] so many different types of corals at each dive site.” From Jeddah to Yanbu , Umluj, Farasan Islands , to Tabuk and along the jaw dropping resorts of the Saudi Red Sea, there is plenty of adventure to be had – below the water, and above - kayaking through mangrove forests, paddleboarding along protected coastlines, this is truly harmonious exploration. Soon, visitors will be able to dive even deeper, figuratively and literally, at the world’s first fully immersive experiential marine life center “Corallium”, currently under development by Red Sea Global. Designed to educate and inspire, the center will offer interactive exhibits, underwater observatories Built to Protect, Not Just Impress Saudi is building a new relationship between people and planet. Nowhere is this more evident than in the development of resorts across the Saudi Red Sea. With only 1% of the entire destination footprint being developed, the rest will be left untouched, a testament to this commitment to a more conscious conservation. Guests can experience world-class hospitality that puts nature first. Resorts such as Shebara , Desert Rock , Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve , as well as The St. Regis Red Sea Resort are designed with sustainability at their core. From off-grid energy systems to zero-waste initiatives and wildlife-friendly architecture, these retreats offer the ultimate escape without compromise to the environment. A Call to Conscious Travel As the world pauses to reflect on the state of our oceans, the Saudi Red Sea offers hope. It is proof that tourism and conservation can and must go hand in hand. Through considered development, scientific innovation, and a deep respect for nature, Saudi is setting a new global benchmark for sustainable marine tourism. This World Oceans Day, we invite you to discover the Saudi Red Sea, not just as a destination, but as a movement. One that places nature at the heart of exploration, and travelers at the forefront of change. To learn more and plan your trip, visit the Visit Saudi website.
