To celebrate the iconic boat shoe, Sperry threw a splashy Poolside bash in its honor at the Rockaway Hotel aboard a decked out "Sperry Ferry" providing the transportation and spectacular views.

  Sperry's Boat Shoe Summer party played host to an array of fashion media, celebrities and influencers. The Boat Shoe Summer event brought together hundreds of notables to celebrate Sperry's signature boat shoe – an iconic design known to be the most prominent trend of preppy style – invented nearly 90 years ago by Paul Sperry.

Guests enjoyed light summer fare while celebrity DJs Mei Kwok, The Captains of Industry, UNIIQU3, & MC Search kept the party going!
