The Timberland Company, popular with hikers, hipsters and gangstas, has inked a deal with Saks Fifth Avenue to introduce Timberland footwear at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide.

Beginning in September, Saks Fifth Avenue will offer premium Timberland footwear, including a line of hand-sewn boat shoes exclusive to Saks and the latest styles from the Timberland Boot Company and Abington collections, at its retail locations in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Tyson's Corner (McLean, Va.), Troy (Mich.) and San Francisco.

To celebrate this new partnership, Timberland will launch a pop-up shop at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store featuring the modern collections. It will be unveiled on Sept. 9 in celebration of New York City's "Fashion's Night Out," a city-wide shopping event on Sept. 10 to support local retailers across New York. --Karl Greenberg
