Cat Footwear & Louis Vuitton Get Boots On The Ground With Epic New Collections
Boots are easily the most versatile yet fashionable footwear out there. Whether you're carrying heavy loads and are simply looking for the best way to protect your feet, or strutting down the runway with chunky but comfortable kicks like a boss, boots in any shape or form, are everyone's best friend. Whether you're in for the function or the form, these boots from Cat Footwear and Louis Vuitton have you covered! Cat Footwear Centennial Collection Cat Footwear is celebrating 100 years of Caterpillar Inc. with a new limited-edition collection that includes three boots that honour the significant engineering milestones the company has contributed to. The footwear brand continues to whimsically reimagine the technical portfolio for the Centennial Collection, drawing inspiration from Caterpillar Inc.'s original hardwearing boots. Inspired by the construction of the iconic landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge boot alters the iconic Colorado silhouette by incorporating a wraparound cable system. While a grey perforated midsole lends the boot an additional industrial appearance, gold-toned hardware is used along the edges as a decorative substitute for conventional eyelets. The second model in the collection, Apollo 11, is named after the moon landing in 1969 and is based on a technical moon boot with a dusty white colourway, platformed sole, and toe cap. The cuffed boot is perfect for the slopes during ski season because, despite its chunky silhouette, it is remarkably lightweight. The Channel Tunnel shoe, on the other hand, substitutes a tongue torch and a light-up midsole for the conventional Chelsea boot to aid hikers in the dark. Additionally, it features a central zip fastening and heat-sealed seams to enhance functionality in a stylish manner. 'Caterpillar Inc. has shaped the infrastructure of our world – building bridges that define cities, digging tunnels that unite nations, and enabling space-age communications. Each boot is crafted as a tribute to the monumental feats that have shaped our world. 'They represent more than just Caterpillar's legacy; they symbolise enduring commitment to building connections and breaking new ground,' said Thomas Kennedy, President of Wolverine Work Group. If you'd like to check out the collection, head over to Cat Footwear's official website. Louis Vuitton's LV BUTTERSOFT Sneaker Collection The highly-anticipated LV BUTTERSOFT sneaker has finally arrived, and Louis Vuitton has debuted a versatile collection of 24 colourways, including monogrammed pairs. Pharrell's most recent footwear design pays homage to the hip-hop scene of the 2000s by fusing the comfortable silhouette of a vintage sneaker with the opulent craftsmanship of a dress shoe. The shoe's main design elements, such as the LV emblem on the side panel and the embossed 'Phriendship silhouette' of Pharrell's face at the tongue, are highlighted in the special campaign, which stars British actor Callum Turner. Additionally, an embossed lobster on the shoe's back is an Easter egg detail that references Pharrell and Nigo's working relationship. The 'buttery' leather, which is crafted by Italian artisans, gives the shoe a pillow-like feel. Luxury rivals like Miu Miu and Loewe offer flat-soled footwear trends, which are contrasted with the elevated platform soles. The design, which has a silhouette that almost looks cartoonish, is reminiscent of the pixelated motifs from Pharrell's previous collections for the Maison, which were inspired by Minecraft. There is a style for everyone and every occasion thanks to the expansive selection of colourways. The monochrome and duo-tone options are available for US$1,690 (~RM7,166), while the monogram colourways retail for US$2,010 (~RM8,523).

Cat Footwear launches collection to honour Caterpillar's centennial anniversary
Cat Footwear, a division of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and official footwear licensee of Caterpillar, is celebrating 100 years of innovation at the American construction, mining and other engineering equipment manufacturer with a limited-edition footwear collection. The Cat Footwear Centennial collection is described as a 'tribute to the monumental achievements that have defined the last century of engineering excellence,' and features three boots commemorating global achievements from the past century in which Caterpillar played an integral role: the Golden Gate Bridge, the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, and the Channel Tunnel System. Thomas Kennedy, group president of Wolverine Work, said in a statement: "For the past century, Caterpillar Inc. has shaped the infrastructure of our world - building bridges that define cities, digging tunnels that unite nations, and enabling space-age communications. "Each boot in the collection is crafted as a tribute to the monumental feats that have shaped our world. They represent more than just our legacy; they symbolise our enduring commitment to building connections and breaking new ground." The limited-edition collection is available on the Cat Footwear website and includes the 'Golden Gate Bridge Boot,' which features an overbuilt structural cage and "cable system" reminiscent of the bridge's iconic design, as well as gold hardware and detailing in a nod to the bridge's infamous name. The 'Apollo 11 Boot' pays homage to the historic moon landing, featuring a stacked sole that is extremely lightweight, inspired by the gear of lunar explorers, as well as brushed, dusty colouring to mimic the appearance of the initial steps on the moon, while the 'Channel Tunnel Boot' honours the construction that united the UK with the European mainland, featuring a functioning headlight and sole lights that mimic trains speeding through a tunnel.
