The Red Wing x Steve McQueen Classic Moc boots have been created in partnership with the late actor's estate and granddaughter, Molly McQueen, as a footwear option inspired by the iconic figure himself.
The boots are based on McQueen's own footwear worn on the cover of the August 1971 issue of Sports Illustrated and feature Pro Legacy Leather on the upper. The boots are paired with a Traction Tree rubber and a set of tan leather laces to further round out the artisan quality of the footwear.
Molly McQueen commented on the Red Wing x Steve McQueen Classic Moc boots saying, "My grandfather had the unique ability to make everything he did look effortlessly cool. He was self-assured and confident, which is why people are still drawn to him today. But beyond the surface, he stood for something deeper — values that went beyond his style or his roles on screen.”
