Wolverine and Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery have teamed up to create Batch IV of their special 1000 Mile Boot.
The collaboration brings together Wolverine’s skill in making strong, comfortable boots and the distillery’s talent for making high-quality bourbon. Tailored for the ultimate bourbon enthusiast, the Wolverine 1000 Mile x Old Rip Van Winkle Batch IV Boot is designed to age gracefully, much like the fine bourbons from Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery.
Each pair of these limited-edition boots features all the timeless 1000 Mile qualities:
- Designed in Michigan and handcrafted in Arkansas, supporting American workers and manufacturing.
- Lux leather uppers in a rich hue inspired by the full-bodied flavor profile of Old Rip Van Winkle 10-year.
- Built from the iconic 1000 Mile silhouette and finished with the added comfort, support, and style of a wedge sole.
- Uniquely labeled with hand-numbered Old Rip Van Winkle woven label on the tongue.
These limited-edition boots is designed to celebrate the hard work and traditions of both companies. This partnership reflects both companies’ dedication to producing exceptional goods that resonate with their customers.
We are thrilled to partner with Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery to create a product that embodies our commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
-Sam Sato, Wolverine Chief Brand Officer
The collaboration’s previous batches have been well-received and sold out quickly. The boots have garnered a loyal following among enthusiasts of both high-quality boots and bourbon. Batch IV looks to continue this tradition, maintaining the superior standards expected from both brands. As with earlier editions, this batch is expected to sell out quickly due to its limited availability and the high demand among collectors and fans.
