Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME and Oregon bootmaker WESCO are releasing a collaborative collection featuring JOBMASTER and THE BOSS styles. The white JOBMASTER uses white leather in a design described as a first for WESCO; the collection is scheduled to launch Oct. 9 in Japan, with prices from ¥522,500 including tax.
Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME and WESCO are releasing a collaborative boot collection on Friday, October 9, pairing the Oregon bootmaker’s JOBMASTER and THE BOSS designs with new materials and colorways. The collection includes a white-leather JOBMASTER described in the source report as a first in WESCO’s history, with prices ranging from ¥522,500 to ¥614,900, including tax.
The collection reworks two established WESCO boot styles. The JOBMASTER is offered in White and Slate, each using cow leather alongside horsehide. The White version combines white cow leather with black horsehide and has white eyelets, laces, welts and stitching. A front lace-in zipper is included for putting on the boot. The Slate version uses a monochromatic slate color for its upper, eyelets, laces and zipper, while also combining cow leather and horsehide.
THE BOSS is a pull-on boot with a two-tone upper made from black roughout and white cow leather. Black roughout covers the vamp and counter; white leather appears on the shaft, gusset and top strap. The design includes a vintage-style nickel-plated roller buckle and a Vibram #100 outsole.
According to the report, the JOBMASTER in either colorway costs ¥614,900, including tax. THE BOSS is priced at ¥522,500, including tax. The planned sales channels are Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME flagship stores in Japan and the label’s official online store.
A New Material for WESCO’s JOBMASTER
The collection’s main point of distinction is the white-leather JOBMASTER, which the source report identifies as the first use of white leather for that boot in WESCO’s history. The release brings a conspicuous new color and mixed-material construction to a style traditionally presented as a work boot, while retaining recognizable elements such as its lace-up format and sturdy build.
For shoppers, the announcement also gives concrete information on two styles, three color options and Japanese pricing ahead of the launch. The high listed prices and Japan-based sales channels may matter to prospective buyers outside Japan, though the report does not state whether international distribution is planned.

Two WESCO Styles Reworked
The collaboration centers on WESCO’s JOBMASTER lace-up boot and THE BOSS pull-on boot, rather than introducing entirely new silhouettes. The designs use different combinations of cow leather, horsehide and roughout, with the White and Slate JOBMASTER versions sharing a mixed cow-leather and horsehide construction.
Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME is the menswear label founded by Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, while WESCO is an Oregon heritage work-boot brand, according to the source report. The release brings the fashion label’s name together with WESCO’s boot styles; the supplied information does not detail how the companies developed the designs or how long they worked on the collaboration.

Distribution and Production Details
The supplied report does not state how many pairs will be made, whether the boots will be produced in limited quantities, or whether there will be a restock. It also does not provide sizing information, material sourcing details, or a separate confirmation from either brand of the claim that this is WESCO’s first white-leather JOBMASTER.
The announced sales channels are Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME flagship stores nationwide and the label’s official online store, but the report does not specify whether “nationwide” refers to stores across Japan or provide a list of locations. International availability is also unconfirmed, as are shipping options and any regional price differences.
The October 9 Store Launch
The next confirmed milestone is the planned October 9 launch at Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME flagship stores and through the brand’s official online store. The reported Japanese prices are ¥614,900, including tax, for either JOBMASTER colorway and ¥522,500, including tax, for THE BOSS.
Potential buyers will need to check the label’s store and online listings for stock, sizing, purchase limits and any updates to availability. The source material does not announce further release dates or confirm whether WESCO or Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME will offer the collection through other retailers.
