To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Japanese retailer BEAMS, Red Wing has revisited one of its distinctive designs from the 1990s: the Irish Setter Round Toe. The 9872 brings back the classic 6-inch silhouette in Oro-Russet leather, a rich reddish-brown leather that recalls the original models from that era.
One of the most recognisable details is the green semi-circle dog tag on the tongue, a signature feature found on Irish Setter boots produced between 1995 and 1997. Combined with traditional yellow laces and the contrasting white Traction Tred outsole, the 9872 captures the look and character of a true Red Wing classic.
Built with Red Wing's traditional Goodyear Leather Welt construction and made in the USA, this special edition brings together American bootmaking heritage and Japanese appreciation for timeless design.
