Red Wing is built on 120 years of shoe manufacturing. Rooted in history, Red Wing Heritage has brought workwear to the masses through the lens of fashionable styling. The lifestyle line is back this week with a new project celebrating the brand’s anniversary, introducing the 120 Year Capsule. Comprised of three styles that are stitch-for-stitch reproductions of their originals, Red Wing Heritage has buried a time capsule on Red Wing property to be opened in 120 years, emphasizing the timelessness of the models.
Leading the range is the Logger boot in “Briar” brown and a slick oil “Black.” Created nearly a century ago for lumberjacks, this version of the boot looks back to its 1961 iteration, which marked the first time the brand utilized a Vibram lug sole. Its 10 rows of eyelets and hooks ensure debris does not enter the shoe while a steel shank preserves its original build. Next is the Pecos boot, which sports a beige roughout leather. Created in 1958 for ranchers and oil field workers, it features classic clean linework as it remains rooted in function over fashion. Rounding out the collection is the Engineer boot, which debuted back in 1936. Its pull-on design allows it to be easily slipped on and off, an important detail for the firefighters and railroad engineers that it was designed for. A stacked heel combines with the same neoprene cord outsole structure that the brand has used for the past century. Meanwhile, the upper features black Klondike leather that will reveal a rich brown patina with wear.
For those looking to shop the Red Wing Heritage 120 Year Capsule, it is available now via Red Wing and select stockists. The Pecos and Logger boots are priced at $370 USD each while the Engineer fetches a $550 USD price point.
