INDIGOFERA X RED WING SHOES

The Indigofera boot is inspired by the #919 Lineman Boot that we first released in 1977 in which 8-inch boots were a common staple to our collection.

The Indigofera crew are a big fan of such styles as the Engineer, Logger and Pecos so when it came down to pencil and paper it made it easy on deciding the direction of the #4328 “Climber” boot.

There are many interesting features but one unique detail is the green Vibram sole that was used on Lineman boots back in 1956.  Vibram that produces all Red Wing rubber soles including the mentioned green sole is the same compound that we use today.  The green colour was used a lot on Lineman boots but unclear as to why the colour was significant.  One theory is that it was an indication that the sole was compounded with the EH (Electrical Hazard) insulation between you and the ground so if you happened to touch a live wire/hot wire you wouldn’t get shocked.  It gave wearers confidence that the shoe you were wearing was guaranteed to be safe whilst working up high-lines.

Along with this very special collaboration Indigofera have also created a blanket, t-shirt and bandana and will be launched and available on September 21st.   And if that isn’t enough we will also be premiering an extremely special film made in California by our good friend Obi Kaufman (@coyotethunder).  Obi embarked on a hiking trip to capture the spirit of this collaboration and tells stories making reference to a deeper mystery where an inner world of adventure meets the outer world of evolution.

This extremely special release is available in store now! Once its gone, its gone.
