Shop Jeen is not only known for its daring clothing but is a purveyor of niche and nostalgic accessories that target popular youth subcultures -- including ravers, Goths and Seapunks.

These feline sneakers feature a classic, all-white look that is accented with a cat-shaped shoe tongue. The element features cat ears and is accented with a feline face with blue eyes.
