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).

With an existing library of designs based on Caterpillar Inc.'s original hardwearing boots, the footwear brand continues to playfully reimagine the technical portfolio for the Centennial Collection. On the Golden Gate Bridge boot, which draws inspiration from the landmark's construction, it modifies the signature Colorado silhouette with a wraparound cable system. Across the edges, gold-toned hardware is used as a decorative alternative to standard eyelets while a gray perforated midsole gives the boot an added industrial look. Taking its name from the 1969 moon landing, the second model in the collection, Apollo 11, is shaped around a technical moon boot with a platformed sole, toe cap, and a dusty white colorway. Despite its chunky silhouette, the cuffed boot is notably lightweight, making it ideal for the slopes during ski season. In contrast, the Channel Tunnel shoe switches up the staple Chelsea boot with a light-up midsole and tongue flashlight to equip hikers in the dark. It also incorporates heat-sealed seams and a central zip fastening to elevate functionality in a sleek style. 'Caterpillar Inc. has shaped the infrastructure of our world – building bridges that define cities, digging tunnels that unite nations, and enabling space-age communications,' explained President of Wolverine Work Group, Thomas Kennedy.
