HOW RED WING REWRITES ITS ICONS FOR AW26
When the days grow shorter and autumn draws closer, a new season begins at Red Wing. For Fall/Winter 2026, the brand presents new models that bring familiar heritage silhouettes together with new leather qualities, seasonal tones and the kind of construction that doesn’t need to prove itself.

COLOUR ACCENTS FOR WINTER
First, the 8180 Kangatan Moc Toe. A special colourway of the iconic Moc Toe silhouette, finished in Kangatan leather for a distinctly seasonal character. Limited to 1,200 pairs worldwide and available exclusively in Europe, it’s one of the standout pieces of the AW26 collection.
Then the 8809 in Tidal Muleskinner, the Classic Moc in a striking Tidal Blue that leans into something Red Wing has known for decades: boots and denim belong together. Indigo tones and Red Wing have shared wardrobe space for years. This is the colour that makes that relationship explicit.
Accompanying the launch is a series of artworks created in collaboration with Austin, Texas-based cyanotype artist Laura Rostad, drawing on the deep indigo world of the collection. A fitting partnership for a drop that treats colour as more than a seasonal detail.
For over 120 years, Red Wing has been crafting footwear for those who value quality, longevity and reliable craftsmanship. That tradition shapes the new season too.
ICONS REIMAGINED
The Iron Ranger, one of Red Wing’s most iconic styles, is now available for the first time in Oro Legacy as the Women’s Iron Ranger (Style 3338). The silhouette is tailored to a feminine fit, slimmer in form but unmistakably Iron Ranger in character. A long-overdue addition done right.
Then there’s the Blacksmith. Originally worn in workshops by day and polished up for the evening, its 6-inch design was built to protect against sparks and hard conditions. For AW26, Style 3339 arrives in Chocolate Muleskinner, a premium leather that captures exactly what the Blacksmith has always been about: toughness and quiet elegance, in equal measure.
