Industrial Adventure Sneakers

The Christopher Shannon x CAT Shoes Offer Atheletic-Style Boots

For consumers seeking a pair of athletic shoes that will stand the test of time and are built for the great outdoors, the Christopher Shannon x CAT Spring/Summer 2016 adventure sneakers opt for an industrial aesthetic that lets the wearer do all sorts of activities in these durable designs. The shoes look seemingly like sneakers, but have a much more sturdy, stable and resilient material build allowing them to be used for a wide range of sports and experiences.

The Christopher Shannon x CAT collaboration brings together sneakers and boots in a hybrid silhouette that makes use of both shoe elements. The sneakers are light, fitted, breathable and engineered to be easily slip-on for convenience. Added to the shoes are elements of a traditional boot with suede and leather detailing and metallic hardware.
