Newness News: Sperry x Todd Snyder x Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood CVO Sneaker

Sperry x Todd Snyder x Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood CVO Sneaker – $120

In a culture sadly hijacked by masculine insecurity masquerading as aggression, it’s really worth remembering…

Mr. Rogers was a badass.

Kindness is cool. Calmness is strength.

He also had an iconic style. One bit of which, just like superstar athletes, we can now emulate.

That transition Mr. Rogers made between “out there” and “in here” was important. When he changed into his sneakers, singing, it was a consistent and welcome signal to the viewer that he was here now, focused on us. Developing brains need consistent, safe rhythms to build. Fred Rogers understood television could make that happen on an individual basis, even from a great distance.

And his sneakers were pretty cool too.

Uppers are garment-washed canvas, the silhouette is as original as it gets, and the piped color strip and chambray footbed are true to what Mr. Rogers wore on his show. Razor-cut wave siping on the outsole and vulcanized construction. “Rogers actually chose the CVO because he liked how quietly they let him step around the studio during filming.”

They also come with an exclusive red dust bag and shoebox, which has an image of the Neighborhood Trolly stamped on the lower corner.

Four colors available. But it’s hard to top the Vintage Indigo.

That’s all.

Carry on.
