Forsake, creators of all-weather ‘Sneakerboot’ footwear, announced a partnership with Woolrich for its Fall/Winter 2015 season. Woolrich lends its Made in the USA Wool to the Lockout (MSRP $139), Forsake’s latest All-Weather style.
This represents Forsake’s first ever collaboration effort with another brand.
”It was important for us to partner with a brand that shares our values and appreciation for quality, design and heritage. Woolrich exemplifies each of those,” said Jake Anderson, Forsake CEO. “While Woolrich has been around for over 180 years, Forsake has been around for just two. We figured we could probably learn a thing or two from these guys, while offering a fresh perspective.”
The Lockout is waterproof, breathable style with an Ortholite footbed, gusseted tongue, compression EVA midsole, composite shank, Peak-to-Pavement outsole and TPU heel stabilizer. In addition, the Lockout features High & Dry Laces, the brand’s latest functional design innovation. A magnet placed discreetly near the boot collar works together with magnets placed in the shoelace tips. Now you don’t have to tie your laces if you’re slipping on your boots to shovel the driveway, take out the garbage or run a quick errand. Simply stick the laces to the side of the boot to keep them off the ground.
The Lockout, along with the entire Forsake collection, can be viewed later this month at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City in the vibrant Venture Out area.
