Our favourite Red Wing Heritage boot gets a wash of blue
A heritage favourite enters a new era, with the Classic Moc reimagined in a limited-edition indigo hue
From backpacking around the world to muddy festival fields, the perfect pair of boots can take you anywhere. Our longstanding favourite? Red Wing Heritage, who’ve been crafting some of the world’s most dependable footwear for over 120 years. Having worn through my fair share, classic brown and black will always define Red Wing’s legacy, but the latest release proves heritage doesn’t have to be predictable.
Enter the new 8809 Classic Moc in Tidal Blue leather. Crafted at Red Wing’s SB Foot Tannery in Minnesota, the brand’s signature silhouette takes cues from the deep tones of indigo denim, bringing a wave of colour and character to the classic without compromising its renowned performance.
Built from Red Wing’s signature roughout leather, the Classic Moc combines the soft, suede-like texture of a refined finish with the strength and resilience of full-grain leather. Naturally water-resistant and designed for long-lasting performance, the material delivers a rugged durability without sacrificing its distinctive look. Consider it the best of both worlds: the feel of suede without the fragility.
To show off the limited-edition pair, Red Wing Heritage teamed up with artist Laura Rostad. Her series of cyanotype works captures the depth and character of the Tidal Blue hue. Using traditional hand-done printmaking techniques, the pieces mirror the brand’s own commitment to craftsmanship and heritage. A celebration of process, patience and the human touch.
