Baseball Fans Won’t Be Able to Resist the New Rawlings x Wolverine Collaboration

Wolverine’s best-selling 1000 Mile boot has been reworked again to pay homage to America’s favorite pastime with the help of sporting goods company Rawlings. What makes this new edition stand out? Each boot features a thin layer of authentic Rawlings wood baseball bat in the signature heel stack.

Handcrafted in Arkansas in small batches, the classic boot also includes a premium caramel brown upper made of Heart of the Hide Baseball Glove Leather from Horween Leather Company in Chicago. Underfoot sits a white Vibram rubber outsole that delivers durability and comfort with every step. Each boot is also individually numbered on the inside of the collar and includes two sets of laces, one in black rawhide and another in white athletic cotton with red detailing.

The limited edition plain-toe silhouette is complete with baseball-inspired red and white stitching throughout the upper, the Rawlings brand logo patch woven on the tongue (the same label stitched on Rawlings baseball gloves) and a metal Rawlings lace fob. The collar is also stamped with an “R” and “Wolverine 1000 Mile” in gold. Like other Wolverine styles, durable Goodyear welt construction allows the boot to be resoled for years of mileage.

In 2022, Wolverine and Rawlings debuted a similar boot with many of the same details, minus the baseball bat wood insert in the stacked heel. The version, dubbed the Americana Edition, came in navy leather and was designed with a moc toe instead of a plain toe. This marks the fourth time the boot brand and sporting equipment company have collaborated since 2021.

Retailing for $425, the new Wolverine 1000 Mile x Rawlings Grand Slam boot drops on May 29th and will be available to shop on wolverine.com.
