With the summer almost here, boutique retailer Concepts has teamed up with boat shoe brand on a bold and colorful collection ideal for the season.
On May 24, Concepts and Sperry will release the limited-edition “Dawn To Dusk” collection, which features a range the two companies described in a statement as the “best of prep style and streetwear.” The collection features five reimagined colorways of the Sperry Authentic Original, reimagined by Concepts.
The collection, the companies said in a statement, feature “distinct elements of Sperry’s boat shoe” and “sneaker-inspired elements,” such as a double-thick translucent rubber outsole and reflective toggle laces. The shoes are made using premium, hairy textured suede.

The five colorways, the companies explained, “resemble the tones of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets seen across the world.” These colorways include “Ember Rise,” an orange hue, as well as the pink “Dawn Blush,” the green “Morning Mist,” the blue “Dusk Navy” and the purple “Violet Veil.”
The Concepts x Sperry “Dawn To Dusk” collection will arrive in store at Concepts and online via Cncpts.com on May 24, with a broader drop on Sperry.com in late May. The shoes will retail for $150 and sizing will range from 4-13.
