Sperry® CVO reissue deck sneakers

Sperry has been an American favorite since 1935 when Paul Sperry, inspired by his dog Prince's ability to run nimbly over ice and snow, used a penknife to cut into the outsole of a rubber sneaker to improve traction. The result was the CVO, the brand's very first shoe that's stood the test of time. This pair is a reissue based on CVOs from the '60s and '70s. It features more retro materials and branding: The canvas is softer and more broken-in than current CVOs, and the plate on the back features a sporty blue color. It's just as classic and wearable (and even more comfortable) as it was back in the day.
