BEAMS Plus re-designs the Sperry CVO sneaker model in the latest collaborative project between the two brands. The Japanese label adds to its Plus range by updating the CVO model at the core construction. It boasts premium construction updates predominantly.
The upper is made from a soft suede to give it a buttery feel in terms of the texture in place of the usual canvas construction. There are also two colorway options of the updated model of either dark navy blue or ecru. Both iterations has details such as co-branding accents at the footbed and added laces for those who choose to customize their shoes. The midsoles are finished in white and the CVO sneakers are now available to purchase online at BEAMS.
