'Wolverine,' the 138-year-old boot and clothing company, has launched 'Wolverine X Halo: The Master Chief boot' in collaboration with '343 Industries,' the developer behind the 'Halo' series of video games. The boot's design is inspired by the protagonist of the Halo series, the Master Chief, as well as other elements from the Halo series.
The boots are outfitted with a "117" marking, which is the 'Spartan' identification number of the Master Chief. The 'UNSC' insignia is also visible on several parts of the boot. The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) is the military, science, and exploration organization that Master Chief is a member of. Additionally, the outsole of the boot features a 'Materials Group' logo, which is the in-universe company that manufactured Master Chief's 'Mjolnir' armor.
The Wolverine X Halo: The Master Chief boot boasts an 'UltraSpring' midsole that allows it to maintain excellent traction at a light weight. The boot will be available for purchase as of March 29th at 12 pm ET on Wolverine's website. One pair of Wolverine X Halo: The Master Chief boots retails for $225 USD.
