Ferg is reinforcing that skateboarding is about individuality.

3 facts you didn't know about Anti Ferg

Timberland boots, a.k.a. Timbs, have a long and odd skating history and until now, no skateboarder has thoroughly claimed Timberland work boots as their main skate shoe.

The thing is: Ferg is a skater based in Atlanta who basically branded himself as the sole member of the Timberland squad. While some clips have been shot in the past, no one makes skating in Timbs look as smooth or graceful as Ferg, and no one is as committed to mixing durability and thuggish attitude as he is.

First and foremost, Timberland boots are made of premium leather: soft but durable enough to withstand timeless skate seshs. Finding the right leather is hard, but the high-quality and durability are the brand's DNA and, of course, are present in every one of 'em boots. The shoes are investment pieces that only get better with age and point us to the conclusion that Ferg thinks a lot about the quality of his skating shoes.

Anti Ferg killin' in Timbos all day is a known fact now, but here are 3 facts you probably didn't know about him.

He plays the piano.

In this JENKEM - AntiFerg's "Timbs" Part video, he shows a talent we didn't know until now. His multi-talents take us to the next fact.

He has an apparel brand called Antilanta.

From T-shirts to headwear, the image of ANTi is embroidered in streetwear pieces that represent very well his personal style.

He's a singer, too.

And just dropped a new album, which you can hear on checking his Spotify. You'll find older tunes from last year there, too.

Timb footy is always a good time, but Ferg took Timb skating to a new level. When asked if his "relationship" with Timberland started with 'em sending boots, he said for Jenkem Mag, that:

At first, it was a dude that was just fucking with my shit on Instagram. He works for Timberland but he wasn’t in a position where he could sponsor me or something like that. So he started hooking me up with Timbs and then I had the actual distribution that runs Timberlands email me and said they liked the way I’m using the boots and they wanna send me some made from a Helcor leather to see how long it lasts.

In other sk8 drops, Jahmir Brown is now part of the DC team. 🔥
