when I was a teenager I identified with I-Path the most, and this was before I started smoking weed. it just seemed like the coolest most down to earth (no pun intended) brand. it helped that in 2005 they put out the best skate video ever made.
I never owned a pair of cats but I did have a low top. it had the logo on the outside heel and it was pleather (if I recall.) I'm not sure what model that was. now that I'm a conscious being who knows my place in the cosmos, AND I occasionally smoke legal prescribed cannabis, I would be more than down to buy this brand again.
