Building on a relationship that first started nearly a century ago, Abercrombie & Fitch and Sperry have launched their next chapter together.
As Corey Robinson, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s chief product officer, puts it, there was an authenticity to reconvening with Sperry in pursuit of a footwear evolution for the brand.
“Our customers are increasingly looking to us for a complete wardrobe, and footwear is an important part of that,” Robinson said in a statement provided to Complex. “This collaboration allows us to honor our history while expanding ways to show up for them, delivering classic styles that feel elevated and relevant.”
Naturally, Sperry’s Authentic Original Two-Eye Boat Shoe gets reimagined here, as does the brand’s Authentic Original Mule silhouette. Also featured are rugby polos, hoodies, cardigans, tees, and swim shorts.
Echoing Robinson’s remarks, Jonathan Frankel—who serves as president of ALDO Product Services, which oversees Sperry for its North American operations—pointed to the “shared history” at the heart of their latest joint endeavor.
“The collection highlights the versatility of the boat shoe and presents Sperry through a modern, relevant lens,” Frankel added in a statement shared with Complex.
The new collection is available now, both in full online and in physical Abercrombie stores for select pieces. Get a closer look below.
