References: catfootwear & highsnobiety
Workwear label Cat Footwear is on a streak of relaunching archival favorites, with its most recent one being the Intruder Sneakers. The Intruder footwear model made its first debut back in 1996 and boasts design sensibilities from the 90s era with its chunky silhouette. There are three colorway options in total -- an all-black option, Biking red (a brick red option with Star White, which has orange touches) and a white option with orange touches. All three colorways see neon green accents as well.
The uppers are constructed from a blend of both nubuck and mesh materials along with nylon mesh lining. This rests atop a molded EVA midsole that rests between the upper and a large rubber outside. The sneakers will be available beginning October 1st online at Cat Footwear, ASOS, Foot Asylum and Urban Outfitters.
