A shell cordovan version of the Authentic Original is at the heart of a 17-piece footwear collection produced by the two American icons.
A closer look at Sperry and Brooks Brothers’ $1,000 shell cordovan boat shoe.According to Bastian, the preppy alliance was in the works as soon as the designer joined Brooks Brothers in December 2020. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do with [Sperry]. It’s really the perfect hook-up,” he tellsBastian, who had designed collections for fellow prep icon Gant for nine seasons before coming to Brooks Brothers, unsurprisingly calls himself a Sperry fan.
“Their classic boat shoe in shell Cordovan is taking something everyone knows and loves and pushing it to its furthest, most luxe expression. It really is the boat shoe you could have your whole life if you take care of them properly,” he says. “Cordovan is a commitment.” “Very few factories can work with real shell Cordovan—it’s very thick and very expensive, and there’s actually not a lot of it out there—and Rancourt is one of the best,” Bastian says. “We also love that they will be American-made.”
