Folks, boat shoes are back again! Well, not that they ever left, but they’re about to be everywhere again this spring and summer. Last year, we saw a major resurgence of the classic preppy style, driven by the Aritzia x Sperry Top Sider collaboration. Well, the iconic boat shoe brand is back with another show-stopping partnership, but this time they’re renewing a relationship that’s almost 90 years old.
Introducing the new Sperry x Abercrombie capsule collection. After establishing a relationship for the first time in 1935, the two are back together again for a collaboration that is sure to be show-stopping. Within the capsule, you’ll find five new exclusive pairs of Sperry’s iconic boat shoes that range across men’s and women’s styles. And unlike the Aritzia collab, this partnership brings along men’s apparel (that can definitely work for women too), making it the ultimate coastal summer drop. In it, you’ll find a comfy pop-over hoodie, breezy graphic tees, and a chic rugby top all adorned with subtle Sperry Top Sider branding.
As a shopping writer who grew up wearing Abercrombie and Sperry’s to school, this collection evokes a nostalgia unlike any other. Both brands have transcended beyond their 2010s peak and have re-established themselves as elevated must-haves in the American wardrobe. While the entire capsule is worth pursuing, our shopping team has its hearts set on the Authentic Original Mule. Available in three shades, the open-back shoe is such a chic take on a classic that’s perfect for all warm-weather occasions this season. Each shade, as well as the other women’s boat shoes, is accompanied by removable beaded charms that add an extra nautical touch to the timeless shoes.
The Sperry x Abercrombie & Fitch collection is available starting today, Thursday, April 9th, on Abercrombie.com and in select Abercrombie stores. It’ll range from $50 to $150, with most shoes priced higher. Below, check out the cutest mules and other must-have styles to add to your cart.
NEW SPERRY X ABERCROMBIE COLLECTION (SPRING 2026)
Sperry Authentic Original Women's Mule Boat Shoe
Trust me when I say, these will be the new “it” boat shoes this summer. The open back on the mule boat shoe brings a level of ease and chicness to the classic silhouette making you want to just slip it on and go, no matter what you’re wearing. Plus, the fish charm is too cute.

Sperry Authentic Original Women's 2-Eye Boat Shoe in Brown
Nothing gets more original than a brown pair of the iconic 2-eye boat shoe. Like the classic Sperry’s these have a smooth leather upper, the wrap around lacing system, and now fun charms! Personally, I love the classic aesthetic, so this would be another pair I’d take home.
