Few pairs of footwear are as iconic as Sperry’s signature Boat Shoe. Practically defining the definitive “deck shoe” style, Sperry’s brand is synonymous with the silhouette. With Sperry launching a collaboration collection with award-winning musician John Legend, it makes perfect sense that the partnership would incorporate a take on Sperry’s flagship shoe. John Legend’s tune up of the signature Sperry Boat Shoe goes in a distinctly plush direction, swapping a smooth leather upper for a soft suede. The sole of the shoe is supported by a proprietary PLUSHWAVE footbed, featuring an embossed ring of piano keys along outer edge of the insole (it is a John Legend collaboration after all). If you’re in the market for an alternative to the traditional Sperry Boat Shoe, this upscale option is available in four different colors — sand (our personal choice), rust, gunmetal and Air Force blue — over at Nordstrom.

Price: $120
