FENDI / Red Wing
From Roma to Red Wing
Launched as part of FENDI’s Spring / Summer 2025 collection, the FENDI / Red Wing Classic Moc reimagines the legendary 1952 work boot design with exquisite details, including Cuoio Romano leather, Selleria hand stitching, and Fendi’s signature FF interlace workmanship. Each boot, handmade by 30 artisans, is a true fusion of heritage and luxury, crafted across continents—from Italy to Red Wing, Minnesota.

Fragment / Red Wing
Continuing the legacy between Red Wing & Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design.
Red Wing was a work boot brand until Hiroshi turned it into something much more. The style he regularly wore in the '90s — the Red Wing Classic Moc Toe — became a thing of legend in Japanese style circles because of his unconventional and visionary approach. The rest is history.
In honor of this legacy, and designed in partnership with Hiroshi, this collaboration came to life as an ultra premium rendition of the icnonic Moc Toe. More via GQ and Highsnobiety.
New Balance / Red Wing
Heritage icon meets heritage icon.
A made in USA collaboration drawing inspiration from the iconic Red Wing Moc Toe boot. From the Red Wing leather, to the color scheme, to the unique triple stitching this ultra premium rendition of the New Balance 997 is as much a Red Wing boot as it is a sneaker.

Want Show Laundry / Red Wing
A collaboration for good, celebrating circular and sustainable fashion.
We flipped the idea of a collaboration on its head by bringing together an iconic American boot company with an infamous laundromat in Taiwan. In the spirit of Red Wing’s Out of Fashion brand ethos, and inspired by Want Show Laundry’s modeling of their customers forgotten garments, we co-curated a limited edition collection of forgotten and left behind boots.
This collection included unreleased Red Wing prototypes, special editions, limited runs, and more. They were offered up for auction, with all proceeds going to the Want Show Laundry Redefine Project — a circular fashion initiative focused on selling long-forgotten items of clothing and supporting charitable causes in Taiwan.
