Wolverine x Metallica Scholars
Limited Edition Collaboration - Year Two
NOVEMBER 9, 2021
Wolverine and All Within My Hands are joining forces once again to celebrate and support America’s future workforce with a new collection benefiting the Metallica Scholars Initiative! The collaboration will feature an all-new limited-edition assortment of three Wolverine boots, a hoodie, and a beanie, as well as a graphic t-shirt featuring art by Brandon Heart. Available for pre-sale now, the collection will be released on Giving Tuesday (November 30) on Wolverine.com.
Wolverine has a long-standing commitment to supporting the next generation of skilled trades, and 50% of all sales from the Wolverine x Metallica Scholars collection will support the Metallica Scholars Initiative – a major workforce education initiative that provides direct support to community colleges to enhance their career and technical education programs, providing skills and services to students who are looking to enter a traditional trade or other applied learning program. Since launching the partnership in 2019, Wolverine has contributed more than $300,000 to the Metallica Scholars Initiative.
“We are grateful to be part of helping the world’s workforce stay strong through the Metallica Scholars Initiative, and Wolverine shares our passion for supporting and celebrating the people who are the future of the workforce. This partnership will continue to shine a light on the opportunities in the skilled trades and support students as they work toward establishing rewarding, sustainable careers.” - James Hetfield
Each one of the more than 900 Metallica Scholars students across the country this year will receive a pair of the collaboration work boots and a graphic t-shirt as part of the partnership to celebrate and thank them for pursuing training in the trades.
“We’re proud to continue celebrating and supporting the next generation of skilled tradespeople through partnerships with exceptional organizations and initiatives like Metallica Scholars. We hope Metallica fans will love and wear this collection with pride knowing they are joining us in supporting the future American workforce.” - Tom Kennedy, Wolverine Global Brand President
