Target scraps tall rain boots from Hunter collaboration

The collaboration launched on April 14, without the tall rain boots.

MINNEAPOLIS - If you've been waiting to get your hands on the women's tall Hunter brand rain boots through the latest Target collaboration, we've got bad news for you.

According to a press release on Friday, Target has announced that a previous delay on the fashion rain boots has now turned into a complete cancelation of the item.

"After thorough evaluation, we’ve decided not to make this item available," the press release states. "We’re very sorry, but the production simply didn’t meet our standards, Hunter’s standards, or the standards we want guests to have when they shop at Target. We are working with a third party to recycle the boots."

After announcing they would not be making the tall rain boots, Target's social media had several comments from shoppers, who say this was the only item they were waiting for.

The statements come from chief merchandising officer and executive vice president of Target Mark Tritton, who also offers his apologies and promises to never let this happen in a future collaboration.

"While this collaboration has brought joy to millions of guests who have shopped it over the past week, the risk of further disappointing our guests is a risk we aren’t willing to take," he states. "Rest assured we’ll look into how this happened, and we’ll work hard to ensure it doesn’t happen again."
