To the Red Wing of 2145,
When you read this letter, 120 years will have passed. That thought is both humbling and a little daunting. We don’t know what the world will look like when you read this. In ours, there’s plenty to be anxious about. Even so, we’re hopeful this letter reaches you in a time of peace, and that the principle that built this company, the Red Wing Way, has held true: when you do something, you do it right, no matter what. Inside, you’ll find four pairs of boots representing three styles that have carried Red Wing across more than a century of change. Boots originally made for the people who built railroads, skylines, bridges, farms, and families. Boots whose legacy gives them meaning for people everywhere. They are built the same way we’ve always built them: by hand and with purpose. They are timeless not just because of their place in history, but because of their power to enable people to express themselves and to feel a part of their story. Everything that makes these boots special is sealed inside with them. The craft, the details, the meaning behind them, the look and feel of 2025. Our hope is that when you hold them, they’ll feel just as right, just as relevant in your hands as they did in ours. We ask that you carry them forward by releasing them again, proof that a good boot, like good work, never goes out of style.
2145
With best wishes for the next 120 years,
All of us at Red Wing
