Sperry and NOAH work in collaboration once again, following their previous partnership this summer. The duo introduces re-imagined iterations of the signature '2-Eye Authentic' boat shoes and the '5-eye' sneakers. The latest capsule draws a strong inspiration from pirate culture and it is translated through a series of pirate-like logos.
The boat shoes are constructed from soft premium suede and leather materials in brown, accented with the iconic 'Jolly Roher' logo over the side panels. Additionally, there are branding details decorating the insoles accompanied by text that reads "Made in Maine USA." The 5-eye sneakers take on a low-ankle structure and are constructed from textile canvas materials in black with the same Jolly Roger logo on the outsoles. The sneakers boast co-branding accents throughout the tongue and the insoles.
