Giveaway! Wolverine introduces limited edition boot with Liberty art fabrics

By Cator Sparks Published August 6, 2021

While The Manual certainly caters to the ‘man’s man’ we appreciate a gent who can show his colorful side. That is why these new Wolverines lined in a Liberty print are especially appealing. The more than 130-year-old brand known for durable high-quality work boots introduces a limited edition Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot for men and women featuring Liberty Art Fabrics as part of the Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection for Spring 2016.

What is a Liberty print you ask? The fabric is named after the swank London department store located on Regent Street that opened in 1875. In the 1920s Liberty started producing their own fabrics, all made in England. Since then they have been a best seller for the store and Liberty has collaborated with everyone from Vans, Uniqlo, J.Crew and now Wolverine.

“Wolverine 1000 Mile and Liberty Art Fabrics make for a perfect partnership; both share a profound respect for their long, rich heritages along with a passion for ingenuity and creating designs that are relevant to people today,” said Martin Shobo, global product line manager for Wolverine’s Heritage Collections including Wolverine 1000 Mile.

This limited edition of Wolverine’s 100-year-old boot pattern is fully lined with Liberty Art Fabrics and is handcrafted in the U.S.A.

The men’s styles are available in rich red and light brown colorways with a red paisley print lining and feature richly oiled leathers from the renowned Horween Leather Company, traditional Goodyear Welt construction and a leather outsole. The collection is available at Wolverine1000Mile.com and at select retailers.

To refresh you on the brand, Wolverine was founded in 1883 by G.A. Krause, and it soon revolutionized the industry with the 1000 Mile Boot made from soft and pliable yet durable shell cordovan – a material that no other tannery had been able to produce.

Featured in one of the first-ever national advertising campaigns for footwear in the 1920s, Wolverine and the 1000 Mile Boot soon became a signature product for Wolverine and men of the 20^th century. Today, Wolverine celebrates its heritage with the Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection, a curated selection of archival-inspired patterns that embody the pillars of Wolverine’s heritage – quality, comfort, durability and style.

Now for the good part. Wolverine is giving away one pair to one lucky reader. Hop to it and sign up below.

Authentic Roz explores the human experience in New York Fashion Week debut

Finding the balance between fitting in and standing out with Authentic Roz

Authentic Roz look 3

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.

A new bronze Norqain watch

Norqain LE Freedom 60 GMT Bronze

Norqain emerged onto the watch scene in 2018, and has offered stylish timepieces like the Freedom 60 GMT collection. Every single timepiece that’s featured in the collection has a retro-like aesthetic that will take you back to the ‘60s. Now, though, there's a new offering: the Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Limited Edition.

The new Freedom GMT watch comes with a bronze dial that stands out thanks to the brown hue. And one of the most striking features is the 100m water-resistant brown casing, which is accentuated by a satin finish that makes the surface look a little bit shiny. Hour markers also have a bronze-like hue that complements the casing.

G-Shock’s MRG-B2100R-2A features stunning blue dial and unique Japanese design

This new G-shock watch is the embodiment of Japanese culture

G-shock MRGB2100R-2A

A new G-Shock watch that explores different Japanese concepts, from zen philosophies to ancient woodworking techniques, has been unveiled: the MRG-B2100R-2A, part of the high-end MR-G series.

For starters, it is based on an ancient Zen ideology centered around self-reflection. The good thing about this new watch is that it explores different Japanese notions. The second notion, Kigumi, goes back to the 6th century and has been passed down over the years. It is a beautiful woodworking craft that creates beautiful patterns.
