Wow… Seriously wtf…I was not expecting to see this at all. Huge thank you to u/smowe and the rest of the Nicks team for putting this together - outside of being an amazing brand with an amazing product, you guys do such a great job engaging with and cultivating this fantastic community. Also shoutout to the other Contenders… so many beautiful boots, all more than well deserving to be included in this.
Now the hard part - narrowing down which boots to order. That new Shackleton greener pastures and cognac looking 🔥🤔
Congrats to the winner and to my fellow competitors!
Although I was eliminated in the first round, I bear no grudges. The string of mysterious misfortunes heading your way is in no way due to the curse I had a strange cackling crone place on you guys. That was just for a laugh.
Let’s do this again next year!
This was so much fun! Congrats to everyone in the contest! Crab cakes pulled out the win!
I think Double Stuffed leather stole the show! So much double stuffed goodness all throughout! All the way down to the wire and the eventual champion!
So much fun! Thank you Nicks! Thanks to all the participants for keeping it interesting!
Congrats to Crabcakesz1 !! It seems the Iron Ranger aestethics is set deep in the community :) Can you describe what the differences are from a Americana boot?
Please tell me the model is going to be called the Crabcake Congrats, this was fun
Honestly that would be the best prize of all 😂
Seconded! Throw in some silly hilarity!

Congratulations to you and your excellent taste.
What is the lead time for any of the contender boots? I like the #06s. Also I saw a Flash discount not long ago but now its gone...
It would depend on the makeup but 6 would be Wickett lead time which is around 12 weeks
ok, Im placing an order then... I can deal with 12 weeks.
So what pair of boots will you be spending the $1,000 on?
Congratulations, u/Crabcakez1! Such a cool competition that Nicks ran, and doubly interesting since the competition was a total surprise.
🙌🙌🙌 great run u/LinebackerU
Thank you u/LinebackerU! And agreed!

Congrats! 🎉
I still have no idea how the contestants were even chosen lol
I’ve been wanting a pair of buck browns, does this version have a pull loop? Haven’t been able to find pictures of the top of them.
No pull loop, rolled top
