The Rawlings x 1000 Mile Boots: All the Details
The two companies re-imagined Wolverine’s legendary 1000 Mile Boot with classic Rawling’s baseball glove details. The Wolverines Rawling boot is eye candy all the way around. Right off the bat, the boot’s handsome leather is the exact same color as Rawling’s gloves. That’s because they used the same Horween leather used to make the premium, top-of-the-line Rawlings Heart of the Hide® baseball gloves. Sitting pretty on the top of the tongue is the classic bright red Rawlings tag. Echoing the tag is a red contrast stripe on the heel which matches the red topstitching that adorns the 1000 Mile boot.
