We are proud to release the second edition of our ongoing collaboration with heritage footwear brand Sperry.
“I’ve always loved clothing and especially shoes that are somehow simultaneously traditional and unconventional. Sperry’s always fulfilled that definition, but I think we’ve taken it a step further with this collaboration,” says founder Jack Carlson.
“We’re using traditional fabrics like herringbone tweed and gun check - but in an unexpected place (shoes), and with brightly colored foxing on every pair. My favorite pair is the mismatched rugby stripe pair. The colors are subtle and collegiate, but the idea that this pair might be conservative is turned on its head by the fact that the two shoes literally don’t match. Sperry is a wonderful collaborator, and the team is totally on the same page as we are at Rowing Blazers: we are a very 21st-century blend of the classic and the iconoclastic.”
The latest edition of Rowing Blazers' ongoing footwear collaboration with Sperry features four iconic Sperry classics updated in Rowing Blazers’ signature style. Inspired by British tweed and by our much-loved rugby shirts, this collection is rooted in the classics but with a decidedly youthful, irreverent edge.
The Sperry x Rowing Blazers FW19 Collection is now available online and in stores.
