To celebrate Red Wing Heritage’s latest “Will Your Wings” campaign, the boot brand is releasing a new limited edition Classic Moc shoe in honor of the iconic Steve McQueen. Along with the iconic actor’s granddaughter, Molly McQueen, Red Wing Heritage is releasing the Classic Moc boot inspired by McQueen’s original pair of Red Wings. The brand’s “Will Your Wings” campaign encourages owners to pass down their shoes to the next generation by stitching in a tiny will with space to add the original owner and the next heir of the pair. This campaign demonstrates the long-lasting quality, the design’s timelessness, and their sustainability efforts.

Red Wing Heritage has returned a classic design with the Classic Moc for this new limited edition drop. Inspired by Steve McQueen’s pair, the brand has crafted the boot using Oro Legacy Leather, Dull Gilt brass eyelets and speed hooks, and tan leather laces. On the bottom, the shoe has a black Traction Tred outsole. As a custom touch, the boot includes a custom embossment of Steve’s signature and his ‘278’ number added on the heel. Only limited amounts of this boot will be released starting November 16 in select retailers. Online sales of the boot will begin on November 21 via Red Wing Heritage’s web store. Along with Steve McQueen’s granddaughter, Red Wing Heritage has crafted the ultimate homage boot that celebrates a legacy that transcends generations. As Molly McQueen reiterated for the campaign, “Just like the boots, it’s about handing over something meaningful and built to last. It’s about receiving a piece of history to cherish, uphold, and make your own. And that’s what makes this campaign so special: it’s not just about what’s worn, but about what’s carried forward.”

It’s no secret that Kith has had an exciting year of collaborations that produced a series of interesting sneakers. While Kith has had a fascinating year, the brand’s Kithmas is shaping into some of its best partnerships. To round out their Kithmas celebration, Kith and Salomon have updated two athletic sneakers to add style to next year’s wardrobe. Based on one of Salomon’s most iconic designs and one of their archival pieces, these two new sneakers are a crisp and clean way of ending the calendar year. As with typical Kith collaborations, there’s no doubt these new silhouettes will sell out quickly, making them the final must-have of the season.
Celebrate with the Kith x Salomon XT-4k and XT-Voyager

Inspired by Salomon’s existing XT-4 retro trail runner, the first of Kith and Salomon’s collaborative sneakers has been updated with new colorways and branding. Made with closed mesh, synthetic leather uppers, and reflective accents, the latest designs are a technical advance on its predecessor. Complete with Kith branding on the tongue and the sneaker’s lateral side, this release comes in two colorways. The XT-4k will come in a white/red colorway and black/red combination, making choosing the right style for your wardrobe easier.
