Sperry x JAWS launches on June 20 on sperry.com and at select retailers. Prices range from $60-$150.
Key styles in the Sperry x JAWS collection include:
STRIPER II SLIP ON and STRIPER II CVO $60
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water….” Sperry’s ultimate summer shoe – the Striper II sneaker features iconic scenes from JAWS 2. Available in CVO or slip on.
A/O 3-EYE JAWS GREAT WHITE GREY $150
“You know the thing about a shark…he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye…” The A/O JAWS 3 eye features a black “Dead Eye” eyelet is a fun nod to the famous line in the movie. The sawtooth Vibram sole and grey brushed leather capture the attitude of the most mysterious antagonist in movie history.
A/O 3-EYE JAWS ORCA $150
This style pays homage to one heroic boat, with a red and black palette and yellow eyelets that reference the yellow buoys. The ORCA had been designed to seek out and catch sharks, but it was ultimately no match for the overtly cunning, pursuing predator. The sockliner depicts one of the most important moments in the movie.
CLOUD CVO JAWS CHIEF KHAKI $85
This shoe’s khaki color, and Amity Police patch are a nod to the iconic uniform of Amity’s chief of police, Martin Brody. The red and white striped interior lining reflects the beach umbrellas in the famous scene where he sees his deadly adversary for the first time. And the shark bite taken out of the rubber in the toe? That’s all Bruce.
CLOUD CVO JAWS HOOPER DENIM $85
The wardrobe of lovable nerdy oceanographer from Woods Hole, Matt Hooper inspired the design of the Cloud CVO JAWS Hooper Denim. A denim take on a Sperry icon, this shoe features a “Topsider Oceanographic Institution” patch on the ankle, and “Beach Closed” sign on the sockliner.
CLOUD CVO JAWS QUINT OLIVE $85
The military jacket from the tougher-than-nails captain of the Orca shines in the new Cloud Circular Vamp Oxford. The interior lining is inspired by his bandana and the silk screen “Quint” was seen on his military jacket. (Spoiler alert) The shark bite in the toe rubber references Quint’s fate at the end of the movie. Sandy Beach is featured on the interior sockliner as well as the “Beach Closed” sign.
