Racing in the America’s Cup demands agility and the utmost mobility. There’s no room to slip (literally), which is why the America’s Cup is teaming up with the boating world’s oldest and most beloved shoe brand, Sperry. As the official footwear partner of the America’s Cup, Sperry will also hold the title of official footwear supplier for ORACLE TEAM USA.
“Partnering with the America’s Cup is our boldest adventure yet. Sperry is built for the sea, and in our 80 years we’ve continually provided tools for nautical adventure and created advanced performance technology for the world’s best watermen,” says Rick Blackshaw, president of Sperry. “This game-changing partnership underscores our commitment to intrepid athletes all over the world and we’re thrilled to support this exhilarating and progressive sport.”
Sperry will be developing a special training and racing shoe for ORACLE TEAM USA based on team member input. For those with the dream but not necessarily the skills for racing in the Americas World Cup, Sperry will also be releasing a limited edition America’s Cup Collection for the general public, which includes shoes, apparel and other accessories.
