Wolverine Launches Best Boots in 142-Year History with Wolverine Infinity System™

PR Newswire

Game-changing performance comfort system designed to maximize energy return and impact absorption


ROCKFORD, Mich.
, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — When it comes to comfortable footwear, few need it more than America’s blue-collar workforce, and today Wolverine®, America’s leading work boot brand, introduced what it calls the best boots they’ve made in their 142 year history, powered by the new Wolverine Infinity System™ comfort system. The boots combine three layers of Wolverine’s top technologies and features into one powerful platform designed to help reduce the toll of the workday on workers’ bodies throughout long shifts.

“We’ve seen performance footwear innovations in sports evolve over the years; from high performance running midsoles to recovery footbeds, they’ve transformed how athletes perform and prepare. Now we’re bringing those innovations to the jobsite,” said Mike Maloney, Chief Product Officer for Wolverine. “We spent years developing and testing to create the Wolverine Infinity System, which will be the best technology to ever be offered to the trades.” 

Tested in the Saucony Human Performance & Innovation Lab (a sister brand to Wolverine), the Alpha featuring Wolverine Infinity System demonstrated a 234% increase in energy return in the heel, 121% in the forefoot and 142% more impact absorption than the current category leading product, according to company data.

“These boots are designed to enhance overall comfort and performance,” said Cory Hofmann, Senior Performance Engineer for Saucony. “Our results demonstrate that the patented Wolverine Infinity System moves these products far closer to athletic performance footwear in many of our mechanical testing metrics.”

Integrated into modern, jobsite-ready silhouettes like the Alpha and the Rancher, the Wolverine Infinity System™ combines three of Wolverine’s top technologies: the Wolverine Infinity Frame™, the EnergyBound™ midsole and the DuraShocks® outsole, as well as Wolverine’s HyperRest™ performance comfort footbed.

  • Wolverine Infinity Frame™ cradles the foot, giving you stability and comfort.
  • EnergyBound™ midsole’s foam pads deliver more than 2x the energy return of the leading work boot.
  • DuraShocks® outsoles absorb 2x more impact in the heel compared to the leading work boot. 

The boots are available now in both soft- and safety-toe models at retailers nationwide and on wolverine.com with prices starting at $174.95.

SoundHound AI Announces Three Major Global Automotive Brands Have Rolled Out Its Category-Leading Chat AI Assistant In North America

SoundHound AI Announces Three Major Global Automotive Brands Have Rolled Out Its Category-Leading Chat AI Assistant In North America

Advanced Voice Assistant with Integrated Generative AI Enhances In-Vehicle Experience for Drivers Worldwide

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
SoundHound AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOUN), a global leader in voice artificial intelligence, today announced that its advanced voice assistant with integrated Generative AI, SoundHound Chat AI Automotive, has been rolled out to vehicles from three major global automotive brands across North America. This significant integration brings state-of-the-art conversational AI capabilities to a wide range of popular models from a prominent global automotive group, fundamentally enhancing the in-car experience for drivers and passengers.

SoundHound Chat AI Automotive expands beyond traditional in-vehicle voice assistant capabilities, effortlessly recognizing natural human speech and leveraging generative AI to support highly intelligent, conversationally fluid responses. The AI-driven technology brings a whole new level of convenience and connectivity to the road, moving beyond traditional voice assistant controls like navigation and making calls, to enable more dynamic and versatile conversational experiences.

Customers can now enjoy everything from detailed trip planning, engaging storytelling, fun quizzes, and even tips from the vehicle manual. Drivers can also ask follow-up questions and receive contextually relevant responses without interruption, creating truly intelligent interactions.

Users can ask detailed questions, seamlessly interacting with external knowledge sources and in-vehicle controls interchangeably, e.g.:

  • While I’m in San Francisco this week, my friend recommended I go to a baseball game. Where do the Giants play?

  • Where are the best seats there?

  • Navigate there.

  • What will the weather be like there this afternoon?

  • Find restaurants near my destination.

  • Find charging stations along my route.

This launch underscores a growing demand for advanced in-vehicle voice assistants. Earlier this year, SoundHound unveiled its in-car voice commerce agent, new, innovative technology that integrates commerce, loyalty, and navigation directly into a car’s infotainment system. This creates a fully hands-free, frictionless experience that enables drivers to seamlessly connect with brands for voice-controlled purchasing on the go, with initial applications in food ordering. Recent research showcases that in-car voice commerce could unlock up to $35 billion annually for automakers.
