As Year of the Horse kicks off and just in time for festival season, these two heritage labels (Dr. Scholl's Shoes, a brand in the Caleres (NYSE: CAL) portfolio, was established in 1924 and Wrangler in 1947) have co-created a capsule defined by a nostalgic Americana aesthetic designed to deliver both standout Western style and all-day comfort.

"Dr. Scholl’s and Wrangler are two American heritage brands rooted in comfort and freedom of expression,” said Katie Moore, vice president of design for Dr. Scholl’s Shoes. “This collab is the perfect combination of the iconic comfort Dr. Scholl’s is known for with Wrangler’s signature Western vibes. Featuring everything from nostalgic wood-soled sandals and clogs to fresh takes on the viral Time Off sneaker, these styles perfectly capture what’s trending in fashion right now. Special touches like Western-inspired metallic buckles and rivets, cow-printed calf hair, perforated leathers and Wrangler denim fabrics make this a collab you can’t miss.”

"Nostalgic footwear is having a massive moment in fashion right now, and Dr. Scholl's is at the very center of that revival," said Holly Wheeler, vice president of global brand marketing at Kontoor Brands. "When you picture the quintessential summer uniform, it’s a pair of our classic Wrangler denim cut-off shorts styled effortlessly with the Dr. Scholl's Original Sandal. This partnership makes perfect sense right now because we're uniting two authentic heritage staples to create a head-to-toe look that feels deeply familiar, yet incredibly relevant for today's consumers."

This collaboration is designed for those looking to channel their inner cowgirl without sacrificing ease and wearability. Fans of both brands can step into the season with the following styles:

The limited-edition Dr. Scholl’s x Wrangler collection will be available online at Wrangler.com and DrSchollsShoes.com. Prices for the shoes will range from $80 to $200, and the denim jacket will retail for $149.99 (only available on Wrangler.com).

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama had to watch the visiting team become champions, again.

The Wemby era of the NBA is fully underway, with the 7-foot-4 French star unanimously winning the Defensive Player of the Year award this season, finishing third in the Most Valuable Player balloting and making first-team All-NBA for the first of what could be many, many times if all goes according to his plan.

But the ultimate moment has escaped his grasp for the second time in three years. In 2024, he tearfully watched the U.S. celebrate winning Olympic gold at the Paris Olympics — and now, he relived that moment by seeing the New York Knicks celebrating their first championship in 53 years by winning Game 5 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio on Saturday night.

“This is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment,” the 22-year-old Wembanyama said. “I can’t tell you exactly what the lesson is, but we’re learning from that, for sure. I’m learning more than any other time in my life before.”

His numbers in the finals: 26 points, 11.2 rebounds. 3.6 blocks per game. They were good, just not good enough.

And his series, fairly or unfairly, will also be remembered for some mistakes: The turnover that led to Jalen Brunson’s go-ahead free throw in New York’s Game 2 win (a game where Wembanyama missed a jump shot to win at the buzzer); and missing a pair of crucial free throws with 1:47 left in Game 4, the one where the Spurs wasted a 29-point lead and lost by one in what became the biggest collapse in finals history. The Spurs wasted double-digit leads in all four losses, including a 16-point cushion in what became the season finale.

“The margin of error is very thin,” Wembanyama said. “Our domination stints are absolute. We absolutely dominated for most of the series. But our errors, our mistakes, are punished so hard that we can’t have ups and downs like this. ... The ups are OK. The downs are the reason we lost.”

It's only Year 3 for Wemby. It's not like every star wins right away.

It took Michael Jordan seven seasons to win his first championship. LeBron James needed nine years. Jerry West needed 12 years for his one and only title. John Stockton and Karl Malone never got one. Charles Barkley, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony didn’t get one, either.

“He’s definitely the future of this league, man,” Knicks legend Larry Johnson said during the series when asked about Wembanyama. “He’s a heck of a ballplayer.”

Wembanyama knows the history, knows that it took some of the greatest to ever touch a ball several years to win a title.

Doesn't mean he likes it.

“It’s painful. It’s painful,” Wembanyama said. “But I’m not running away from that. I’m using it to fuel me. ... I’m not satisfied with not winning. But as I said, this is the biggest lesson of my life. As a team, there’s no better experience than what we just lived.”

His numbers are like almost nothing the game has ever seen before. There have been four seasons in NBA history where someone had 150 blocks, 150 assists and 100 3-pointers. Chet Holmgren did it for Oklahoma City in 2023-24, and the other three instances are all from Wembanyama — who has hit those totals in each of his first three seasons.

“I think for a lot of people, this team seems to be ahead of schedule,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday on NBA TV. “I don’t think they feel that way. I’m amazed at Victor. Not just his play on the floor, but he’s such a curious young man. He’s a pleasure to talk to. He’s very worldly. I mean, he’s got amazing interests off the floor. He’s really dedicated to his craft and he’s got such a bright future ahead of him.”
