Luke Combs is no stranger to collabs in music. In music it's two people or more. In Luke's World he has collabed musically with (Miranda, Brooks & Dunn, Jameson Rodgers, Tracy Lawrence, Billy Strings, Eric Church and others).But this collab is for "shoe" people... Either way if it is a song or a shoe, it's Luke Combs, and will no doubt be a huge hit!!!

There are a million things that I could say... I realize the most important is Thank You!!! Our service men and women who have served this great nation and kept all of us free! Those two words Thank You, go a long way. It might be for your time, effort, being away from your family, going through everything day-in-and-day out to protect us. You have my full admiration. So do your families that are also…
