SPERRY TOP-SIDER (USA) Croc Emboss Boat Shoes

In 1935, Paul Sperry invented the original boat shoe. 75 years later, the timeless design has been infused with 21st century fashion.
Just in time for the New Year season (and the upcoming CNY!), these boat shoes from Sperry Top-Sider remain faithful to the authentic design with genuine hand-sewn tru-moc construction, shock-absorbing EVA heel cup (both instrumental for durable, added comfort), and non-marking rubber outsole with razor cut wave-siping for wet/dry traction, while the contemporary twist is in the croc emboss upper.
Use this shoe to add a stylish accent to everything —from your blue jeans to neutral chinos— for easy weekend panache.

BAND OF OUTSIDERS x SPERRY TOP-SIDER Collaboration

The collaboration between Band of Outsiders and Sperry Top-Sider has been so extremely well received and loved that the duo had returned season after season with new material and construction that never fail to please and surprise. We love the way the ‘Band’ adds an extra lace hook to the shoes, which really gives a contemporary touch to this classic style.

HOUSE OF HARLOW 1960 (by Nicole Richie) "Maddie" Moccasin Booties

Reformed reality star. Daughter of music icon. Charity advocate who -among other things- builds playground in low-income area. Author (book # 2, 'Priceless', is "disarmingly charming"). Violin, cello and piano player. Mum of two. Cute moccasin designer? Who knew that Nicole Richie wore so many hats? Indeed. In keeping with her bohemian but trendy vibe, the new Mrs. Joel Madden also has a line of shoes under her House of Harlow 1960 label.
With her two small children (Harlow Winter Kate and Sparrow Midnight) on her hip, it’s easy to see why Richie’s shoe preference gravitates towards Navajo-inspired moccasins -- they are wearable, but just the right amount of funky. And she pulls off that delicious ‘70s boho feeling so well, too.
Made out of fine suede material, the House of Harlow 1960 Maddie moccasins not only has uber-comfortable padded footbeds, they’re all set to bedazzle with beads in a festive geometric pattern. Perfect to wear with your denim shorts to get-togethers, weekend mall trips, picnics, and a-la Nicole afternoon Starbucks run :-)


Surprise! Surprise! Nicole Richie sounds perfectly sane and witty. Check out her full interview with Vanity Fair.

SPERRY TOP-SIDERS Boat Shoes & Loafers

Long associated with quality and tradition, Sperry Top-Sider shoes have out-raced, out-cruised and out-fished any and all competitors, again and again, from 1935 to this very day. But because the waterscape of our planet is limited, so are the opportunities for wearers of Sperry footwear. Thankfully, more and more non-outdoor enthusiasts are discovering that Sperry Top-Sider can be a wonderful style choice for them, too.
Sperry's classic boat shoes and loafers still have the same preppy look that made them a must-have in the days when pleated khakis and oversized double-breasted blazers ruled the runway.
Yet at the same time, you can combine these shoes with a pale blue dress shirt (or a lightweight slim-cut suit, or shorts) with equal success.
With a buttoned-up yet unfussy aesthetic, Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes and loafers are timeless in their appeal -- to both sailors and landlubbers alike :-)


The limited edition Sperry Top-Sider archival collection -- released to celebrate the label's 75th anniversary -- features the original outsole founder Paul Sperry carved onto his sneaker to mimic the ingenious design of his cocker spaniel, Prince's paw.

Come and get yours from Whoop!


Paul Sperry charged US$4.50 a pair for the first boat shoe, demonstrating an early commitment to quality at a reasonable price tag.


In 1939, the U.S. Navy negotiated the right to manufacture Paul Sperry's shoes for its sailors, leading the Authentic Original model to become the official footwear of the U.S. Naval Academy's casual uniform, which continues to this day.


Even Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss (sorry, faces not pictured here, you'll just have to trust us that those are their feet, hehe - or watch the movie!) relied on their trusty Sperry Top-Siders to battle the great white, in the 1975 horror classic "Jaws".


Collaborations with American-trad labels like Tommy Hilfiger, J.Crew, and Band of Outsiders continue to generate new fans around the world.
