Iconic Australian boot brand, Blundstone, marks 150th Anniversary with a new limited-edition boot!
In celebration of their 150th anniversary, Blundstone have released an exclusive, limited-edition #150 boot, fashioned on the brand’s iconic Chelsea boot style.
Established in Tasmania in 1870, Blundstone remains 100 percent Tasmanian family-owned, and continues to be shaped by the vision and values of its founders and owners.
John Blundstone set out to make fit-for-purpose footwear that could withstand the cobbled city streets, rugged farmland as well as the dance and factory floors of Hobart. This philosophy has allowed Blundstone to adapt to an ever-changing environment and 150 years later the commitment to durability, quality and innovation has not wavered.
The #150 boot is inspired by Blundstone’s iconic #500 boot and features supple 1.8m thick premium auburn leather and a hand screen-printed and stamped bronze lining. 150 is debossed into the outer heel leather to mark the milestone and further touches include smooth leather rolled edges, a 150 gold update on the iconic pull tabs and bronze lining.
“Our 150 Anniversary boot celebrates our heritage of quality and craftsmanship and understated design. Modelled on our legendary #500 boot, the supple, auburn leather upper draws on inspiration from the wilderness of our island home. The lining elevates this boot above our existing range in honour of the occasion. Our #150 is a true collector’s item!” said Joe Carfora, Global Lifestyle Range Manager.
Available for a limited time only, Blundstone’s anniversary boot is a testament to the supreme comfort and timeless design that the brand has become synonymous with over the last 150 years. The boot has been produced in a limited run and following the launch in Australia and New Zealand in March, will then be available internationally in over 70 countries throughout 2020.
The #150 can be purchased online at www.blundstone.com.au and in select retailers with an RRP of $215.00.
