RED WING / NOT ON SALE
Reclaiming Labor Day to celebrate workers — not sales.
Labor Day was created as a holiday to celebrate workers. But today, it has become a nationwide sale event with doorbuster deals and back-to-school discounts which take from the value of their work.
Red Wing wanted to change this trend and reclaim the true meaning of Labor Day. We decided to forgo any type of deals or discounts. Instead, we donated 100% of the profits from that day to the very workers who help build this country.

PEOPLE OVER PROFITS
We partnered with five organizations dedicated to supporting and fostering the skilled trades. In the spirit of honoring and rewarding workers on Labor Day, the entirety of Red Wing’s profits from September 5 was equally divided between our partners.
