Sperry Top-Sider, the brand known for inventing the world’s first boat shoe in 1935, is collaborating with Milly designer Michelle Smith and releasing 13 new styles for spring 2012. The collection will feature a mix of Sperry’s iconic silhouettes with Milly’s sexy and feminine signature prints such as an Italian vintage rose garden print and vivid colors including navy and coral. In addition to the classic boat shoe, other styles will include sandals, sneakers, and ankle-wrap wedges decorated with design elements that can be seen in Milly’s handbag collection like charms and gold metal laces. Select designs will also be offered in children’s sizes.

The collection is priced from $90 to $225 for women’s and $45 to $75 for girls and is available at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Sperry Top-Sider retail locations, sperrytopsider.com, the Milly Madison Avenue flagship, and MillyNY.com
