To commemorate Caterpillar Inc.’s 100th anniversary, Cat Footwear, a division of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., has launched a limited-edition collection that pays tribute to the company’s legacy of engineering excellence and innovation.
A Century of Groundbreaking Achievements
Titled the Cat Footwear Centennial Collection, the line features three commemorative boots, each inspired by a historic global achievement in which Caterpillar played a pivotal role:
- The Golden Gate Bridge
- The Apollo 11 Moon Landing
- The Channel Tunnel System
“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,” said Thomas Kennedy, Group President of Wolverine Work.
“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 symbolize our enduring commitment to building connections and breaking new ground.”
Inside the Centennial Boot Collection
Available now exclusively on the Cat Footwear website, each model blends bold design elements with symbolic storytelling:
🥾 Golden Gate Bridge Boot
Inspired by San Francisco’s iconic landmark, this boot features an overbuilt structural cage and cable system that mimic the bridge’s engineering. Gold hardware and subtle detailing nod to the bridge’s name and legendary status.
Apollo 11 Boot
A tribute to the historic 1969 Moon Landing, this boot boasts a lightweight stacked sole, echoing the gear of lunar astronauts. The brushed, dusty color palette mimics the appearance of the moon’s surface during the first human steps in space.
Channel Tunnel Boot
Celebrating the construction of the Channel Tunnel, which connects the UK and mainland Europe, this model includes a functioning headlight and sole lights that resemble high-speed trains moving through a tunnel — a futuristic touch honoring this engineering marvel.
Limited Release, Lasting Legacy
The Centennial Collection reflects Cat Footwear’s deep-rooted connection to the industrial spirit of Caterpillar. Each boot not only celebrates a physical feat but also embodies the bold vision and craftsmanship that have defined Caterpillar for the past 100 years.
