When it comes to American Ivy League marine chic, Paul Sperry’s eponymous Top-Sider brand is the only shoe to be decked out with, whether you’re at a Cape Cod regatta or braving the rainy British streets whilst late night shopping. A pair of Sperry’s will be there to stop you from slipping into the Atlantic ocean or the window display at Thornton’s. They’ve recently teamed up with fellow New Englanders Fidelity Sportswear, who started off in the 1930s making pea-coats and bomber jackets for theUS military and now sell their garms around the world in exclusive places like Beams in Japan and 14oz in Berlin. This season they’ve teamed up with Sperry Top-Siders to create a very seasonal and classy looking collaboration which includes three classic Sperry silhouettes that have been given a refurb with uppers made of Fidelity’s signature wool fabrics and military-inspired button and buckle detailing. President of Sperry Craig Reingold perhaps sums it up best by saying…
“Fidelity and Sperry Top-Sider were both founded upon strong ties to the water. We’re excited to be partnering with a brand that shares our passion for the sea, and this common passion shows in the fine detailing of this exciting capsule collection.”
