In September 2023, Cat Footwear will launch its new Invader Mid Vent - a shoe with traction, casual style and heavy-duty functionality. Cat Footwear, a footwear brand under Wolverine World Wide, Inc., is growing its Invader collection by adding the Invader Mid Vent as its newest inclusion.
Other styles within the collection include the Invader Steel Toe, the Invader Hi Steel Toe and the Invader Hiker Waterproof Boot. The Invader Mid Vent features a ReViveTech Engineered Comfort footbed, 100% Post Industrial Recycled Lining with NXT footbed cover, a resilient EVA midsole, a nylon shank, a composite toe and an industrial-grade rubber outsole. The new design also features an aggressive lug pattern that provides traction inspired by the Cat machine, and its overbuilt styling offers a distinct look.
“The Invader Mid Vent delivers on both the Outdoor Utility and Overbuilt Style macro trends in the marketplace, with hiking silhouettes leading the way. Insights show that more and more consumers are wearing their work/safety products indoors AND outdoors,” said Kelly Ballou, VP of global marketing. “With visible traction and overbuilt styling cues, the Invader collection ladders up to Cat Inc. and the machines they’re known for.”

IRONPROS Perspective
Cat Footwear has consistently delivered high-quality products under Wolverine. This work shoe (or boot?) captures the recent trend of casual design with heavy-duty functionality. For example, we've seen brands add steel toe protection to sneakers to enable use on construction sites. The launch of the Invader Mid Vent will mark an exciting shift in traditional footwear options for construction professionals.
