Whereas spring 2024 surprisingly introduced us the Clarks Wallabee comeback, spring 2025 is bringing an equally preppy (and surprising) type: the boat shoe. Then once more, possibly we shouldn’t be stunned. The “fisherman aesthetic” began trending on TikTok this previous January, casting its internet as one of many greatest spring tendencies and placing nautical types (we swear we’ll cease the puns quickly), again into the highlight. The most recent ones you must check the waters with are from a Sperry x Aritzia collaboration.
Sperry, the nostalgic unique boat shoe model based in 1935, teamed up with Aritzia, the fashionable “elevated necessities” trend model, to reimagine the latter’s iconic boat footwear, re-designing two new types.
“The boat shoe is greater than only a development — it’s a timeless staple that has outlined type for practically 9 a long time,” stated Sperry’s president Jonathan Frankel in a press launch. “This partnership is an ideal fusion of heritage and modernity, bringing recent versatility to an everlasting icon.”
