America’s original work boot brand and Metallica’s workforce education initiative come together to launch a limited-edition Rancher Boot that benefits the skilled trades.

“Wolverine is proud to continue our partnership with Metallica Scholars in supporting the next generation of skilled workers,” said Scott Schoessel, Wolverine Boots Chief Marketing Officer. “The skilled labor workforce still faces a critical shortage, and this partnership has been pivotal in our team’s mission to bridge that gap. We are excited to unveil our fifth collection together, capturing the perfect mix of style, quality, and a great purpose.”

In addition to the limited-edition rancher boots, the Wolverine x Metallica Scholars collection features an assortment of apparel and accessories, including:
