Random mostly meaningless thoughts:
Full disclosure: I’m a shoe dude.
  • Don’t be that guy who wears the shirt of the band to the concert.
  • Damn you Merrell for no Firecracker Red. Damn you to shoe hell.
  • They make a GTX version of the Moab, but the Jeep Rubicon Edition is not GoreTex. WTF?
    Jeep Gladiator Jeep Merrell Rubicon Boots 1699368795376
  • The Name/Graphics: Merrell Moab Jeep Rubicon
    Jeep Gladiator Jeep Merrell Rubicon Boots 1699368887180
  • Don’t try to justify no GTX with some “I don’t need it” nonsense. I’ve owned lots of light summer hikers in GTX including Merrells and Asolos. Light GTX are plenty breathable. That’s the point of GoreTex. Waterproof breathability. They need a light outer shell to work. Heavy GTX boots otoh are swamp foot makers.
  • I carry 2 pieces of footwear when overlanding/camping: flip flops and waterproof boots of some kind. I’m always getting out at water crossings to do dorky shit. I need GTX. Damn you Merrell for not making a Jeep Edition out of the GTX model. Damn you to shoe hell.
  • I switched from Merrell to Asolo years ago because my Merrells kept falling apart. Maybe they’re better now. Just sayin.
  • @OluKai if you’re listening, please make some Jeep Edition Mekila Rubicons with Jeep carvings in the leather. Please take my money. I pray to the fake Hawaiian shoe gods.
  • @HeyDude let’s be honest, you’ll do a collab with literally anyone. Why not a Rubicon Wally Sock? Get on the ball, dude.

I just wanted some matching blue Jeep shoes. Lots of overthinkers in here, damn!

I don't think most people will care or even understand the Rubicon logo on them lol - and if they do care that much about what other people wear/purchase, that is a sad mentality.

I would not get too wrapped around the axle about it. Stuff like this is a bit campy sometimes and will invite the peanut gallery comments.

The diesel model has a recall on the laces. They break and they don’t know when new laces will be available.

Full disclosure, I love my JTRD and I ordered a pair of boots! Thankfully they are not Bright White!

Yeah, I agree. $170 for a boot you can get for $100 is a steep increase.

Even with 20% off, it's a $36 price jump for some lettering. But you could apply the 20% to anything and get the regular boot for $80 then, so it's still about $56 more expensive!

Of course, everyone is different and this may scratch the itch certain people have.

Well my sarge green gladiator rubicon will have a guy wearing some sarge green rubicon boots in the near future. Damn this website for the money it makes me spend.

I have many pair of Merrell shoes and boots, but l agree. Us cool hood Mojave owners can’t wear a Rubi branded boot. That would be like a guy wearing a dress, it just ain’t right. And here come the flood of Rubi owners replying. ???
I heard the Mojave boots are coming out this summer- they are going to be significantly more comfortable for walking on concrete, be really slippery in front, and they are going to reinforce some part of the boot that only 1 in 10,000 owners will use in such a way that they will notice:)

I bet the rear soles start to squeak also after awhile.

Meh, it's just a marketing gimmick. Like those "Jeep Edition" Midland radios a while back. Slap a name on it and generate some temporary sales.
So how many pairs did you order? ;)
