Abercrombie & Fitch has renewed its decades-long partnership with Sperry, launching an apparel and footwear collection inspired by their shared heritage.

The collaboration dates back to 1935, when Abercrombie & Fitch became one of the first retailers to stock the Sperry Top-Sider, created by founder Paul Sperry for sailing and outdoor enthusiasts. 

The apparel collection includes a long-sleeve rugby polo, an essential popover hoodie, a cardigan, a long-sleeve graphic tee, a short-sleeve graphic tee, and five-inch relaxed pull-on swim shorts.

At the same time, the footwear line introduces five exclusive styles that reinterpret Sperry’s Two-Eye boat shoe and Authentic Original mule. The designs feature nautical-inspired details, including removable beading and charm accents.

“When we considered the next evolution of our footwear assortment, reconnecting with Sperry felt authentic and genuine,” said Corey Robinson, chief product officer at Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

“This allows us to honor our history while expanding how we serve them, delivering classic styles that feel elevated and relevant.”
