The fine folks at SERKET Racing put together this tribute video in honor of the 239th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps.
That’s just a cool pic.
In addition to the announcement that US Army is transitioning to Coyote colored boots, they’ve made another revelation.
It looks like SMA Chandler’s crusade to police up the Army’s boots is going to affect the Coyote swap. Although no details have been released, all new Coyote styles in Coyote color sold through AAFES will have to meet as-yet-published performance guidelines under the new UQCP for Uniform Quality Control Program.
The concept is that any optional wear footwear will have to be submitted for evaluation and then carry an “approval”. The intent is noble; any footwear a Soldier wears should be able to live up to its name of Combat Boots. In short, no more garrison boots.
Obviously, details are scarce. The real question is if this is going to hurt or help Berry compliant producers. On one hand they will be the only ones getting the certification. This assuredly won’t be offered to non-Berry boots. On the other, we know that offshore boots will continue to be sold and worn without the additional cost associated with the certification.
Adidas has introduced a new in-house Camo pattern for their Pure Boost shoe. Adidas has been doing quite a bit of Camo this season with a MultiCamesque shoe earlier this year along with a ladies jacket in a fractal pattern. This Pure Boost pattern offers woodland and urban colorways.
Thanks for everything you’ve done to keep this nation and her allies free! I’m truly in awe of your dedication and accomplishments.
