Here are a pair of boots Halo fans will love. Wolverine teamed up with Microsoft to create rugged footwear inspired by Master Chief. The company will only make 117 pairs of this limited-edition footwear. Halo developer 343 Industries worked with Wolverine for over a year to perfect the design inspired by the brand's Hellcat footwear.

The Wolverine x Halo: The Master Chief boot gets rubber lug outsoles for grip, UltraSpring high rebound midsole, full-grain leather, and hook and loop cover for the laces. It comes in Master Chief green with his Spartan number, 117, on the left boot's heel. It also has the logo of the Materials Group, which made Master Chief's armour. A pair goes for US$225 (roughly CA$280 converted) and will be available at noon Eastern time on March 29 on Wolverine's website.
