Arnette celebrates 30th anniversary by reinterpreting its iconic Catfish model

From the first designs created in an Orange County garage to the models that have made their mark on the counterculture world, Arnette has always dressed the look of new generations with cult style. And as far as retro-cool legends go, the original street style brand came before anyone else. Now, Catfish is back.

To celebrate Arnette‘s thirtieth anniversary, this extraordinary, trend-setting model brings out the brand’s eternally youthful philosophy with an exclusive edition that is anything but a return to the past.

Without ever losing the spontaneity of free spirits who set themselves no limits, the 2022 edition of the Catfish model moves from the beaches of the nineties to the trendiest cities of today to join a new trend in the world of skateboarding that is all about colour.

The dynamic lines of the original model are emphasised by innovative metallic spray-applied colour effects inspired by urban murals and modern graffiti, while the three-dimensional graphic-style metallic ‘Catfish’ word logo signs the tapered temples.

And whether it’s to complement the laid-back look of the longboarder, the reckless energy of the skateboarder, or the casualness of those who prefer the urban environment, with its smooth curves and strong character, the Catfish doesn’t lack for anything. And if that wasn’t enough, this version doesn’t neglect sustainability either, being made entirely from organic nylon.
