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.”

adidas continues to elevate with a new luxury Gazelle sneaker

adidas releases new Gazelle sneaker

After the success of adidas’ luxury Samba sneaker from the Made in Italy collection, the famed athletic brand is elevating another one of their iconic silhouettes. With the Gazelle sneaker on the forefront this time, adidas adds some luxury to the casual sneaker with premium materials and craftsmanship. While the Gazelle has recently seen some sophisticated upgrades with the Dime collaboration, the new iteration of the shoe sees a sleeker and more minimalist approach. On trend with the elevation of specific sneakers by brands, the Gazelle sneaker appears to mimic more of the look of a classic Italian dress shoe rather than an everyday shoe. Whether you wear it with your suits or everyday wear, this stylish Gazelle shoe is another way to elevate your footwear rotation.
adidas Gazelle Indoor Made in Italy

Donning a monochromatic black colorway, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is the next design getting an elevated treatment via the brand’s Made In Italy collection. The sneakers are crafted from locally sourced premium leather and a black suede T-toe panel for added texture. While crafted in all-black, the smooth leather and texturized suede mixture allows for an elevated and versatile look. While most Gazelle sneakers contain branding around the sneaker, this iteration will have a more minimalist approach. With a debossed effect, the Gazelle branding is incorporated on the tongue and its heel and quarter. Finishing the sleek look are waxed laces that bring it all together. The newest Gazelle sneaker will be available via the adidas webstore starting March 13 and retail for $350. An easy way to wear sneakers with your more formal attire, the Gazelle Indoor Made in Italy sneaker is an investment in a versatile shoe that’ll see plenty of use.
