After falling overboard in 1934 in the Long Island Sound, Paul Sperry — an avid sailor, inventor and intrepid explorer — created the first non-slip deck shoe, modeling the sole after his cocker spaniel's foot pad. And in World War II, it became the official deck shoe of the US Navy. Since then, it’s been worn by style icons like JFK, Paul Newman, and Mister Rogers. And in the same way that the Stan Smith went from an unassuming white court shoe to a fashion fave circa 2014, it is now the Top-Sider’s time to shine. Todd’s limited-editions bring a modern, luxe spin to the seafaring classic.
