My prayers have been answered in the form of this Penfield x Sperry Top-Sider collaboration – finally a women’s shoe just as nice as the men’s version, that isn’t by Vans and isn’t overloaded with pink! Not that I don’t love both the aforementioned of course, but a change is always nice.

They will be available in the following influential boutiques worldwide: Saint Alfred (Chicago), Ron Herman (various Southern California locations), Steven Alan (New York), Tenue de Nîmes (Amsterdam), Oi Polloi (Manchester), Starcow (Paris), Fott (Moscow) and Lane Crawford (Hong Kong). I couldn’t be more stoked to see that the collection, featuring 4 men’s styles as well as 2 women’s, will be stocked at the wonderful Oi Polloi in my home town of Manchester. They’re due for release this month, so you can guarantee I’ll be straight down there to pick up a pair when they’re available.
