Rowing Blazers Updates Sperry's Original 3-Eye Boat Shoes
References: sperry & highsnobiety
Sperry works in collaboration with Rowing Blazer on a new iteration of its iconic Original 3-Eye Boat shoe for the season. The preppy imprint updates the 1935 silhouette with elements that are ready for the outdoors without disrupting the original design aesthetic.
There are three colorways that join this time around, with bright iterations of either red, yellow, or blue. Throughout the upper, the shoe is made using a SeaCycled™ canvas material, which is entirely made from premium rPET materials, which is the recycled plastic used in drink bottles -- this gives it a sustainable perspective. What makes the shoe ready for the outdoors is seen at the base foundation of the Vibram rubber lug soul, the EVA heel cup, and the Taslan hiker laces.
