In celebration of Labor Day, Wolverine, the 139-year-old heritage work brand, and the Ram Truck Brand, the automaker that is "Built to Serve", are back with their second exclusive collaboration that will benefit the skilled trades. To recognize the hard work, integrity, and dedication of America's workers, both brands have come together for a consecutive year with a limited-edition "Built for the Driven" collection which features American made boots, clothing, and accessories.
"Our collaboration with the Ram Truck Brand has seamlessly allowed us to connect to existing and new consumers with our unique and purposeful product," said Scott Schoessel, VP of Marketing at Wolverine. "Though most importantly, this co-branded collection is helping to inspire the next generation of skilled tradespeople to develop their careers and close the skilled trades gap that continues to exist in our country today."
