The heritage footwear brand launches new collection of performance shoes designed for adventure
WALTHAM, MA, March 2022: Sperry introduces Sperry Sport – a new collection of footwear engineered for performance and designed for outdoors enthusiasts. As a brand that was born on the water back in 1935, Sperry continues its heritage of innovation with this new collection, which will be available March 2022 on Sperry.com and at select retailers.
Built to withstand the rigors and demands of a wide range of activities on the water and the shoreline, every Sperry Sport style offers signature Sperry traction control featuring Adaptive Wave Siping™ made with the highest-grade quality non-marking rubber. Performance details such as hydrophobic materials, for easy to clean, quick dry comfort and versatility; enhanced wet traction; and an anti-vibration midsole that offers enhanced cushioning, are hallmarks of the new collection. Every style has been rigorously wear tested and designed in collaboration with athletes.
“We’ve built the best gear for people to play on the world’s biggest playground,” says Sean McDowell, SVP Product Creation, Sperry. “These products are some of the most innovative and highest performing vehicles we have ever produced – and so many of the products can be used for a wide range of activities and for all ability levels. Sperry Sport is serious design for serious fun”
“Since 1935 Sperry has been crafting products made for the water. With the launch of Sperry Sport we will re-establish our leadership position in water sports,” says Katherine Cousins, Sperry President.
