Available in women's shoe sizes five to 11, the limited-edition collection includes two styles — the Authentic Original Boat Shoe and the Slim Boat Shoe. Both styles are available in smooth or suede leather and a few select hues.

The leather shoes feature Aritzia on the tongue and the Sperry logo at the heel for a co-branded feel. While fairly straightforward in design, these shoes really shine with fashion-forward styling: Think Miu Miu inspired.
