Meet the Captain’s Oxford

In collaboration with Palmes, we’ve given the Captain’s Oxford a luxurious makeover. This preppy classic – an icon of menswear– has been reimagined in richly textured calf leather, sitting on a Vibram mini lug sole, with traditional welted construction executed with meticulous attention to detail. Pair these with everything from jeans to casual tailoring to create a standout look this fall.

Meet the Racquet Oxford

Rooted in tradition but crafted for today, the Racquet Oxford is back from the 1960s vault. Palmes has put their spin on a sneaker once advertised for "the man with a slick foredeck and a lethal backhand.” Sporting a canvas upper and a classic lace-to-toe design, we promise you don't have to be a tennis pro to enjoy this instant classic style.

Recently re-released from Sperry’s 1960s archive, the Racquet Oxford sneaker was originally designed to be worn on the tennis court and offers a retro tennis aesthetic. The leather Captain's Oxford is a Sperry icon and brand staple, having been one of the first shoes designed by Paul Sperry. Both styles embody a shared ambition between Sperry and Palmes of interpreting what lies in the past through a modern lens.
