Men's Brown Sperry X Authentic Original Two-Eye Boat Shoes

In 1935, Paul Sperry created the world's first nonslip deck shoe after falling overboard, taking inspiration from his dog Prince's ability to stay surefooted. Since then, Sperrys have been worn by icons including JFK and Paul Newman—and seen everywhere from naval ships to tennis courts to the pages of <i>The Official Preppy Handbook</i>. Our new exclusive collaboration revives the Authentic Original two-eye boat shoe with details taken from a vintage find. Everything from the roughout suede uppers to the stitching to the retro branding on the insole and heel is carefully chosen to be as close to the original as possible—with the comfort and durability you'd expect from the legendary American brand. Color: brown
