The Wolverine 1000 Mile x Rawlings Americana Boot is a collaboration footwear style created by the two brands to offer fashion-forward consumers with a way to show off their pride for America's pastime.
The boots from the Michigan-based shoemaker are crafted with Horween leather sourced from Chicago, which is the same used by Rawlings for its signature Heart of the Hide baseball gloves. The tongue on the boot is embellished with the recognizable Rawlings logo to immediately correlate the footwear to the baseball gear brand.
The Wolverine 1000 Mile x Rawlings Americana Boot is paired with a Vibram rubber outsole for comfort as well as a Goodyear welt construction. Finished with a custom red leather heel stack, the boots are perfect for avid baseball fans to wear off the field.
