When it comes to classic boat shoes, there’s no brand more focused on perfecting the timeless silhouette than Sperry. A popular casual shoe, the boat shoe is an easy way to elevate your casual looks without sacrificing your sophisticated style. To celebrate Sperry’s continued presence as a standard boat shoe, the brand has joined forces with Japanese brand BEAMS PLUS for a new collaboration that takes fans back in time. In honor of Sperry’s 90th anniversary, both brands are taking on an archival boat shoe that brings it to a new generation. With an updated look and fresh feel, the newest Sperry x BEAMS PLUS shoes are set to become your new favorite once summer hits.

Using Sperry’s Circular Vamp Oxford silhouette as the base, this collaborative shoe gives a major nod to the design created in 1935. In this new release, the shoe has been updated with Nylon uppers and will be available in white, red, or navy hues. Besides a heavy-duty upper, the shoe comes equipped with the brand’s Razor-Cut Wave-Siping in the sole for increased traction. While not much differs in the rest of the design, the increased traction and uppers allow users to feel more secure and protected in the shoe. BEAMS PLUS and Sperry will also release an accompanying apparel and hat collection that mimics the celebratory nautical style showcased in the new footwear. Those looking to get a head start on their summer footwear will be able to purchase the new Sperry x BEAMS Plus on February 13 at select specialty retailers worldwide and the Sperry and BEAMS web stores.

While the footwear industry continues to indulge in retro designs, one brand tends to stand out against the rest. For many seasons, Adidas has become the standard for reviving archival designs and redistributing them to a new generation. One of the first designs that began this concept was the Adidas Samba. After years as one of the hottest sneakers to own, the Samba sneaker continues to deliver exciting updates and collaboration. At the beginning of its resurgence, the Samba sneaker was the must-have shoe for almost every user. While the Samba wave continues to rise, there’s no denying that the Samba sneaker has a rich history that precedes its current explosion. Although the modern version of the sneaker is vastly different than its original design, there’s no doubt that the Samba sneaker continues to be one of the most highly sought-after sneakers in the footwear world. 
Sporty beginnings

The history of the Samba sneaker traces back to 1950 when Adidas founder Adi Dassler designed and created the shoe to be worn by a German team for a soccer match on a slick, icy field. Unlike the sleek modern design, the original version was a much bulkier boot-like silhouette with an arched sole, a rubber-capped toe, and metal eyelet grommets. The Samba shoe, created to have maximum traction for the players, became a staple for soccer players playing on snowy and slippery fields. As the Samba shoe saw success, Adidas quickly worked to refine the shoe over the years.
