Step into JAWS this summer with Sperry's shark film-themed shoes
Shoe me the way to go home, and hook yourself a pair of Sperry's JAWS dropping shoes inspired by the Steven Spielberg shark classic from 1975.
And with Shark Week just out of sight, the making of JAWS play, The Shark Is Broken, just opening on Broadway and The Meg 2: The Trench about to open wide on cinema screens, there really couldn't be a more sharktacular time to get your city hands some iconic footwear inspired by the fast fish.
Whether you are a fan of the great white shark, Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), Quint (Robert Shaw), Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), or even the Orca (sadly the laces aren't made from piano wire), there is something to delight JAWS fans, and who doesn't want to be walking around in some JAWS inspired footwear to navigate their way round the streets of Amity, catching a shark with a holiday roast or just for in the yahd...not too far from the cah?
Sadly, there is no design for the likes of Pipit the dog or poor Alex Kintner, but there is still plenty to get JAWS fans excited and the attention to detail is - to quote Quint - incredible!
Who knew that film related footwear could be so exciting?
There’s no shortage of JAWS inspired designs and details to spend your summer dollars on, with prices ranging $44.95 to $149.95. You’ll have to take it up with Sperry if that payment is in cash or check.
Their designs and attention to detail are just spot on, it really is a miracle of shoe evolution and this range is sure to make the shoe collector surface in JAWS and film fans worldwide that they never knew existed.
The fantastic looking shoes, which include a range of (bigger) boat shoe, sneakers and floats - take their look and design from Chief Brody, Hooper, Quint, the shark and the Orca.

All which mean you can quite literally step into the shoes of your favourite JAWS character, and the attention to detail is something else with the shoes in Chief Khaki – with Amity Police insignia – Hooper Denim – with oceanographic institute logo – and Quint’s military style canvas with imperfect print – And all come complete with shark bites!

And that’s not all, as well as shoes based around Quint, Brody and Hooper, there are 17 Jaws-based shoes in total, which also take in the sequels JAWS 2 (1978) and JAWS 3D (1983) – both of which celebrate turning 45 and 40 years old this year.
