With the fall season on the horizon, it’s no surprise to see brands starting to tap into their boot releases. One brand known for its quality boots is Red Wing Heritage. For almost 70 years, the brand’s Classic Moc boot has become a staple of its footwear lineup, thanks to its timeless look and high-quality construction. A favorite among workers and casual wearers alike, the Classic Moc is ultimately the must-have for any Red Wing fan. Now the brand is taking its most iconic boot design and giving it a slight makeover. Although the boot appears the same on the outside, the new muleskinner leather makes it stronger and more durable than ever before.  

Red Wing Heritage unveils its stronger Classic Moc yet

The go-to boot for factory workers and farmers, it’s not a surprise that Red Wing Heritage has decided to make the Classic Moc even stronger. Created by Red Wing, the boot’s muleskinner leather provides a suede-like texture that’s even stronger than the previous material used. Donning a chocolate brown shade, the Classic Moc completes the design with a cream traction tread outsole and a natural tan leather midsole. The moleskinner leather is not a new concept for Red Wing Heritage, as it has been featured on other styles in the past. However, fortifying the Classic Moc with this durable material makes this the ultimate boot for the season. Now available through Red Wing’s webstore, the Classic Moc can be purchased for $320. While the upgrade primarily involves a construction upgrade, it’s a swap that can make a significant difference for a long-lasting boot.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
