Wolverine is proud to introduce the Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection Fall / Winter 2011 line of men’s shoes and boots. Divided into four pinnacle sub-collections, Wolverine 1000 Mile reflects the authentic style and craftsmanship that became a benchmark of Wolverine footwear from the very beginning.
Crafted with great attention to detail using the same construction methods as the original, the Wolverine 1000 Mile mainline Collection is inspired by designs from the 1920s and is 100% Made in America. Featuring Horween leather uppers and Goodyear™ Welt construction, the 1000 Mile Collection embodies the pillars of Wolverine’s heritage — comfort, durability, function and style. New, key 1000 Mile pieces this season include the Rockford – an unlined, lace-up cap-toe boot – and the Austen, an 8’’ Lacer Kiltie. A rugged boot for the rugged man, the Austen pays homage to the long history of the kiltie lacer style. A full leather sole with a Vibram® fore-part provides year-round traction. Unlined with a ¾ leather sock footbed, the Austen pairs traditional style with modern-day function.
The Gentleman Collection is inspired by the footwear of men working in the new industrial age. Classically designed footwear for business and social gatherings alike, the Gentleman Collection includes wingtip details and distressed leathers for a new look with a vintage feel. The Wickham, a Wolverine Brogue Oxford debuting this season, is available in a black or tan hand rubbed leather upper with swirling perforated detail and a subtle contrast color underlay. The short wing-tip design adds extra style to everyday work footwear.
Taking design cues from heavy duty work and military boots, The Garrison Collection has been redesigned to reflect the refined look found in boots of the early 20th Century. Rounding out the 1000 Mile offering this season is The Gentry Collection, inspired by traditional field boots. The Gentry Collection boots showcase Wolverine’s history of creating high-end hunting and outdoor boots for the everyday adventurer.
