CUSTOMIZED ICONIC RED WING BOOT #877 MOC TOE

Customized iconic Red Wing #877. Found – where else – on a Japanese Twitter Account (MaH @MaH53137643). I like this kind of customizing with that fat soles and higher heels a lot. But beside soles and heels there is another fine custom thing that looks great and is very practical at these 8-inch Classic Moc: speed hooks! What a perfect #877 … pics | MaH @MaH53137643

LIFE TIME GEAR BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 14 | RED WING SHOES ICONIC STYLE 877

one of my absolute favorite RED WING SHOE styles: the iconic 877 IRIH SETTER. a must-have in every work boot or RED WING SHOES collection. this classic moc toe was introduced in the early 1950s and the first RWS boot which was outfitted with the characteristic white crepe sole. i love especially the long stiches on the side of the boot. in comparison to the #877 the #875 just could be a light version of the “godfather of the RWS moc toe family”. the #877 is often seen on actors and was worn f.ex. by STEVE McQUEEN and JACK NICHOLSON. and because of best fit these guys enjoy the great comfort of the #877 even outside the studios and film locations. this #877 is one of two i own. in my collection there is another vintage one from the 70s in classic oro-russet, irish setter labelled – pics will follow. this one is one of my absolute rarities in my small collection. pics | LTG

STEVE McQUEEN | CLEARANCE OF “THE KING OF COOL”

damn, what’s that? unbelievable, but this is the UNOFFICIAL McQUEEN LIFESTYLE SITE: www.thekingofcool.com. this site is for all the hobby McQueens of you who have no idea and the phantasy where to collect the REAL STUFF. no, here is the marketplace where you can find all items at one website: from STEVE’s MUSTANG GT500 over his HANHART WATCH to his GREAT ESCAPE SWEAT TOP. and as a proof, all items are shown in books where STEVE is wearing the stuff – perfect, isn’t it? easy to be FRANK BULLIT now. some items are originals, some are cheap replicas and some items are pure merchandise, look at the ugly printed shirts … uurghh. but check yourself. for me this site is poor: “THE CLEARANCE OF THE KING OF COOL”. pics | www.thekingofcool.com
