Step into the future of fashion with a powerful collaboration that marries heritage, craftsmanship, and an unexpected twist of rugged elegance. FENDI, celebrating its centennial in 2025, joins forces with American footwear icon Red Wing, which marks its 120th anniversary, to unveil a boot that embodies both savoir-faire and strength.
This partnership is not just about aesthetics, it’s about redefining what it means to be a modern woman. Inspired by the legendary Red Wing Heritage Classic Moc, originally designed in 1952 as a durable work boot, FENDI transforms it into a statement of fearless femininity. The result? A striking blend of FENDI’s luxurious Cuoio Romano leather, signature sienna red and beige hues, and intricate Selleria hand-stitching, seamlessly fused with Red Wing’s renowned structure and durability.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. The iconic FF interlace, a hallmark of FENDI’s craftsmanship, is meticulously threaded by hand in Tuscany, each pair requiring five hours of artisanal precision, before being assembled in the United States using Red Wing’s century-old shoemaking traditions.
With over 30 artisans and 80 steps involved in creating each pair, these boots aren’t just made, they’re born from a legacy of excellence. As Silvia Venturini Fendi puts it best, “These shoes are made for walking. They’re made for busy women!”
Striding confidently between heritage and modernity, the FENDI Red Wing boots are a bold testament to fashion that works as hard as the women who wear them. Ready to make a statement? These boots certainly are!
