Sperry and BEAMS PLUS unite to bring you an all-new take on the CVO, inspired by the nostalgia of 1960s and 1970s boating culture. There’s something so effortless about that era - functional layers and nautical stripes that straddle the crisp-to-casual style divide, and above all, a timelessly laid-back attitude. Welcome to what’s next: an expertly crafted three-piece collection that captures the essence of coastal.   Get to know BEAMS PLUS Launched in 1999 as the private label of the popular Harajuku boutique, BEAMS (originally founded in 1976), BEAMS PLUS is a renowned Japanese menswear line reimagining classic Americana through the eyes of its Tokyo-based HQ. The line takes inspiration from America’s Mid-Century boom aesthetics – think workwear, sportswear, military, and other foundational menswear – and pays tribute to their timeless appeal, while infusing them with a modern utility and sensibility. Our CVO deck sneaker, a history Done up in sturdy nylon and styled in Americana hues of red, white, and blue, this new take on the CVO is the perfect way to celebrate 90 years of our brand. The shoe that started it all, our classic CVO deck sneaker was created when our founder, Paul Sperry, slipped and fell off his boat while sailing the Long Island Sound in 1935. Later, struck by the way his cocker spaniel was able to grip the deck, even in the slipperiest of conditions, he cut grooves into rubber mimicking a dog’s paw, developing the world’s first anti-slip boat shoe. Fast forward to today, and the BEAMS PLUS NYLON CVO is a versatile statement maker that can be dressed up or down, depending on where the waves take you, and still has the original ANTI-SLIP sole. Next Gen Nautical On a pursuit to maintain authenticity of next generation casual wear, BEAMS PLUS chooses to see beauty in the functional designs of uniform fashion, blending Japanese design precision and contemporary style. Built for the open seas, reinterpreted for modern day living think of this as the new uniform for men, or those who dress like them. Get the look  The vintage-inspired capsule collection merges Sperry’s iconic heritage with the meticulous craftsmanship of BEAMS PLUS, taking archival materials like our ultra-durable nylon and transforming it into a head-to-toe collection featuring apparel and accessories. From January - March you can explore the full capsule at the exclusive pop-up shop at 199 Mulberry Street in NYC.   Explore the Collection

You wear your leather boat shoes anytime, anywhere. And your shoes look like it. You’d like to clean them and give them a fresh look. You’d like to restore that lustrous leather look. There are ways to clean and refresh your shoes. Here’s how you can get your trusted Sperry boat shoes back in tip-top shape. Laces If your Sperry leather shoes have laces, remove them before cleaning your shoes. They’re often made of rawhide and must be cleaned differently. To clean Sperry rawhide laces, just pop them in a bowl with cold water and dish soap, swish thoroughly, then rinse with clean water. Allow your laces to air dry for about 24 hours. Clean It is important to remember that leather should not be treated in the same way you would fabric, or even nubucks and suedes. Even though your Sperry leather shoes can get wet, you want to avoid washing them with water. This will dry out the natural oils that add shine and luster to the leather. Luckily, Sperry leather cleaner removes dirt and stains while maintaining the moisture leather needs to look its best. Protect Once you’ve cleaned your Sperry leather shoes, you need to protect them from future wear and tear. Apply Sperry leather lotion to protect your Sperry leather boat shoes. The lotion will add moisture to prevent drying, cracking, and scuffing. After cleaning and protecting your Sperry leather shoes will look almost like new even when they’re far from it. But just because you take great care of your trusted Sperry shoes doesn’t mean you’ve lost that urge to shop. Find a new favorite (or two!) when you shop the entire Sperry collection.   More tips on taking care of Sperry leather shoes Beyond the leather upper of your Sperry shoes, you’ll want to clean the soles and freshen the insoles. Apply a quarter-sized dollop of dish soap to the outsole of each shoe, then using a leather brush (or toothbrush) scrub away any scuffs. Sprinkle non-leather insoles with baking soda to deodorize and help with freshness. You may want to wear no-show socks to keep your feet cool and stink-free. If your Sperry leather shoes get wet, or after cleaning your leather boat shoes, allow them to air-dry for 24 hours in a cool, dry place away from heat or sunlight. Stuff your shoes with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help maintain their shape. Want to find out more about Sperry shoes? Check out other “how-to” blogs about Sperry shoes. And there’s more!

Thread the needle through the outside of the last eyelet on the bottom. Remove the needle from the lace.

Colour Theory Unlocked Get to know a little more about the founder of Colour Plus Companie – Jordan Page, what inspired the collection rooted in our original CVO silhouette from 1935, and of course, all things colour theory.   Shop the collaboration Shop the Style About Jordan Meet Jordan Page, a multi-disciplinary creative and the founder of the New York based Colour Companie Plus. As a child of the ‘90s, Jordan was inspired by the vibrant hues found in comic books, something he later translated into intentionally coordinated get-ups and a brand that celebrates the power of colour. As a lifelong lover of prep style, he was inspired to create a collection that melds classic nautical with today’s culture and a nod to primary colours. As a true creative, Jordan is constantly inspired by nature and ensures to honor the authenticity of his surroundings, you could say he sees the color in all things. Should you like what you see, be sure to stay tuned, there’s something very special coming this Fall... About the CVO Putting the spotlight on the shoe that started it all: The Circular Vamp Oxford (CVO) sneaker was invented in 1935 by our founder Paul Sperry. Infamous for its non-slip sole, and synonymous with aspirational boating lifestyle, this iconic shoe was a favorite among historical icons like JFK, and Mr. Rogers alike. With both its functional purpose and preppy style legacy the CVO has inspired generations of similar designs. Here, the original gets done up with a modern twist.  A Nod to 90s Sailing Retro nautical is trending, but here’s one better: our iconic CVO done up in new-age materials and primary colors. Think 90s sailing meets modern performance, when asked about what inspired the collection Jordan Page recounts, “The colors reminded me of the sailing apparel color motifs of the 80’s & 90’s but with a richer tone that reflected my personal taste. The muted pirate black used for the sole allows the colors to pop more & the safety yellow used in the rope laces is reminiscent of the bright colors in emergency gear you might see on a sailing boat."  About the Colorways Inspired by primary colors, each Sperry x Colour Plus Companie CVO lends itself to a specific pantone. PompeianIf Pompeian Red sounds strangely historical, it’s because it is: The fiery hue is named for the mineral pigment used in the Roman murals of the ancient city of Pompeii. Buckthorn BrownChamomile, if it was stomped through the mud: meet Buckthorn Brown, an earthy yellow beloved in interior decor and stylish getups alike. RiversideThe colour of Hockney’s pools and your favourite pullover sweater: say hello to the iconic CVO sneaker in Riverside Blue.    Sperry x Colour Companie Plus A collection inspired by ‘80s and ‘90s boating culture, built with bold color theory in mind.

A new season means new trends — and the return of some old ones, too. From shoes that bring a touch of nostalgia to new colors that are perfect for warmer weather, these are the trends to know for Spring 2025.   Boaters are Back For some people, they may have never left, but for others, the tide of 2025 sees boat shoes make a triumphant return. With a timeless look rooted in effortless coastal cool and smart campus preppiness, it’s understandable that this iconic style, first introduced nearly 90 years ago, is trending once again. For the ultimate classic look, opt for rich browns that pay homage to the boat shoe’s heritage.  Spring Neutrals A soft color palette brings added versatility to the boat shoe’s classic silhouette. On the one hand, it can bring a sporty, lightness, when paired with a more casual outfit; while, on the other hand, the softer palette can elevate more formal warm leather looks. Think a light cream boat shoe worn with swim shorts on deck during the day and then paired with linen trousers of the same color in the evening. Retro Returns Some things get better with age. Inspired by old school vulcanized sneakers, these shoes have been worked up in retro colors and treated to washed and aged finishes, to give you all the style of a well-worn pair, even when they’re fresh out of the box. Designed to look like they’ve been your go-to pair for years, throwback sneakers can be dressed up or down with ease. Ballet Core on Deck Opposites attract. Drawing inspiration from both the dance studio and the sea, these boat shoes have been slimmed down and given a ballet flat’s silhouette. The result brings a preppier side to balletcore, making it a smart and chic way to take on one of the must-try trends for Spring ‘25.
