As boat shoes continue to trend into the summer, Sperry and Boston-based luxury retailer, CNCPTS, have reunited once again to release a limited edition CNCPTS x Sperry Dawn To Dusk Collection. The collection offers a playful reinterpretation of Sperry’s iconic Authentic Original boat shoe in five new colorways for the warmer months ahead.

Each shoe in the CNCPTS x Sperry Dawn To Dusk Collection combines distinct elements of Sperry’s original boat shoe with sneaker-inspired features such as a double-thick translucent rubber outsole coupled with a textured base for ultimate traction. Reflective flecked laces are secured at the shoe’s front with clear toggle clasps and with Sperry's signature 360° Lacing System™ for a customizable fit. Additional features include a rounded, moc-toe upper, leather lined insoles, and cupsole construction. A co-branded tongue tag authorizes the partnership between Sperry and CNCPTS.

Each shoe offered in the collection is constructed of a premium textured, hairy suede and comes available in five vibrant colorways that resemble the tones of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets seen across the world: Ember Rise (orange), Dawn Blush (pink), Morning Mist (green), Dusk Navy (blue), and Violet Veil (purple).

“Coming off the heels of our Fall 2023 collaboration, we wanted to give the Sperry x CNCPTS Authentic Original 3-Eye Cup shoes a Summer refresh and tell a visually striking, shared story through thoughtful design elements and color selection,” says Tarek Hassan, Founder and CEO of CNCPTS.

The boat shoe has found itself back in the fashion spotlight, as influencers, celebrities, and fashion brands alike have rediscovered the timeless charm of the iconic silhouette and are pushing prep to the forefront of style trends. The CNCPTS x Sperry Dawn To Dusk Collection reimagines prep through a streetwear lens, combining the best of both fashion realms with Sperry’s deep-rooted heritage.

“As the originator of the boat shoe, Sperry is proud to come together once again with the visionary minds at CNCPTS to rethink the classic. The boat shoe has had a major cultural impact on American style and as we lean into its resurgence, we want to showcase the versatility of our most iconic silhouette with this exciting capsule,” shared Jonathan Frankel, president of Sperry.


To honor the partnership, CNCPTS’ flagship store in Boston will feature a dedicated installation that pairs each shoe in the CNCPTS x Sperry Dawn To Dusk Collection with meaningful ephemera inspired by the shoe’s colorway. Locals are invited to a launch party on Wednesday, May 22nd to celebrate the release of the limited edition capsule collection. Similar galleries will be installed in CNCPTS’ New York City and Miami stores for fans to visit.

Available in men’s sizes 4 - 13, the CNCPTS x Sperry Dawn To Dusk collection will retail for $150 and be available beginning Friday, May 24 exclusively on cncpts.com and in-store, followed by a wider release on sperry.com later in the month.
