Japanese Edison and very rare. The “6-inch Classic Moc 8179” was created by combining details from several models, and in 1952, the company developed a traction tread sole with a flat white sole and cushioning properties, which was then used in the 8-inch length of the 877 boot. The success of this boot is said to have led to the expansion of Red Wing’s product line. In 1995, the 875 attracted the attention of Japanese street fashion, and a new variation, the 8179, was born, using a thicker coating of leather. The design of black leather with an exquisite sheen and a thick white sole became a strong individuality and became the center of attention on the streets. Since then, the 8179 has become Red Wing’s representative boot in Japan and reigns as a long-selling model.
