After delivering its expansive Fall/Winter 2022 collection, PLEASURES has now returned with its latest collaboration with Sperry. Teaming up with the American heritage brand, the Los Angeles-based imprint has created a striking collection of footwear.

Turning its focus on Sperry’s Authentic Original Boat Shoe and other classic styles, PLEASURES’ skewed twisted lens has created a display of evocative design. “Growing up in New Jersey, there was a period of my life where Sperrys and cut-off jeans were my uniform. The look really caught steam in the emo/pop punk scenes of the Y2K era,” said PLEASURES Co-Founder, Alex James.

Leading the PLEASURES x Sperry collaboration are two cheetah takes on the Authentic Original™ 3-Eye Vibram Boat Shoe and silver rust-themed Captain’s Oxford. Rounding up the collection is the Moc-Sider Knit Mule and ripped cage print marked Float Slide.

Check out the range above and head over to PLEASURES and Sperry’s website to shop the collaborative collection now.
