Wolverine, a brand long known for its rich heritage and commitment to quality, is announcing its first women’s collaboration with Brooklyn designer, Pleet. This marriage of classic craftsmanship and Brooklyn style has produced five outstanding shoes for Fall 2012, including oxfords and boots.

The collection is Wolverine’s first-ever women’s collaboration and marries the brand’s rich heritage with Samantha’s mystical-meets-modern design aesthetic. Consisting of five boots total, Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet was inspired by famous female explorers and adventurers throughout history. The collaboration will complement Wolverine’s mainline women’s collection, also debuting in Fall 2012.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet Collection,” said Christina Vernon, Wolverine Product Line Manager. “Samantha’s distinct point of view and feminine aesthetic mesh perfectly with Wolverine’s more rugged sensibility for a beautiful collection of unique, wearable boots that will appeal to a wide range of women.”
