As summer unfurls and preppy style makes its triumphant return, the Sperry x Todd Snyder collaboration arrives just in time for boat shoe season. Celebrating Sperry’s 90th anniversary, this limited-edition collection reimagines two iconic silhouettes: the Authentic Original Boat Shoe and the CVO Sneaker. Of course, with Todd Snyder’s signature blend of modern luxury and timeless craftsmanship.
Sperry, the footwear brand that pioneered the non-slip deck shoe in 1935, teams up with menswear visionary Todd Snyder for their second collaboration. The result? A refined take on American classics that balances heritage with contemporary edge. “Designing this collection was a chance to honor a brand that’s been a staple in my wardrobe for decades,” Snyder says. “I wanted to respect that tradition while introducing thoughtful updates that reflect today’s more refined, yet relaxed, approach to dressing.”
The Authentic Original Boat Shoe, available in sleek black and versatile tan, is crafted from premium vachetta leather that patinas beautifully over time. A Vibram® sole ensures superior grip, while a plush sheepskin leather lining delivers all-day comfort. Each pair arrives in a custom collector’s box with a branded dust bag, making it a must-have for style purists.
The CVO Sneaker, a nod to Sperry’s maritime roots, gets a modern overhaul with weatherproof British Ventile® fabric and a raised rubberized gum sole. Inspired by the original Circular Vamp Oxford, it features a double-layered upper, razor-cut wave Siping for traction, and a canvas lining with a heel pull tab for easy wear. Available in black and cream, it’s a versatile addition to any warm-weather rotation.
Priced at $230 for the Boat Shoe and $120 for the CVO Sneaker, the Sperry x Todd Snyder collection launched June 12, 2025, and is available on ToddSnyder.com, Sperry.com, and at all Todd Snyder retail locations. Whether you’re dockside or city-bound, these elevated classics are your ticket to nailing the preppy revival with effortless style.
