All About Dare to Daryl

Dare to Daryl, our new limited-edition customization program in stores and online,
 celebrates being yourself every step of the day — because no one does it like you.

It features our new vintage-inspired fashion sneaker, the DARYL, a luxe low-top that incorporates all of our new brand codes, from the SW Star logo hardware on the tongue to the SW logo on the back counter. Plus, we are introducing a new visual icon with these kicks: A graphic W motif with a subtle scalloped detail on both sides.

Because the DARYL will take you anywhere you want to go — and we know you're going places — we also launched a high-energy campaign video where our DARYL sneakers come to life. It stars a skateboarder and dancer as they move effortlessly in their own ways. The dynamic pair plays off each other, eventually coming together and empowering the other to take bold steps in their DARYL sneakers.

Your Daryl, Your Design

The DEBUT of the DARE TO DARYL campaign also marks the launch of our limited-edition sneaker customization program. Now, you can make our sneakers your own by choosing from 13 colorways and 10 premium lace options designed in collaboration with luxury shoelace brand AGLIT ITALY.

The eye-popping DARYL color palette includes eight rich suedes, two metallic leathers, crisp white leather and cheetah-printed suede, many of which feature LIMITED EDITION printed on its outside upper. Meanwhile, for the laces, you can choose from five metallic leathers, two denim or any of three custom-printed silk designs featuring the SW logo. They are available exclusively on stuartweitzman.com and in select SW boutiques.

Ultimately, there are infinite ways to customize the DARYL. But when it comes to one-of-a-kind style, no one does it like you.

Our Cool Collaboration

Our exclusive collaboration with the luxury footwear accessory brand AGLIT ITALY was born from a shared commitment to artisanal craftsmanship.

"Both Stuart Weitzman and AGLIT ITALY understand the importance of quality and how fashion and function go hand-in-hand," says AGLIT ITALY Head of Design Tarik Star Baker.

When Baker founded the brand in 2011, "I wanted to elevate the concept of the basic lace," he says. He did that and more, disrupting the streetwear industry with his unique take on handcrafted shoelaces featuring premium materials like Italian lambskin, premium denim and custom silks, all of which are sourced from around the world.

With the DARYL custom sneaker program, he brings his approach to modifying footwear with chic accessories to the DARYL assortment. "AGLIT ITALY laces will enhance both the look of the lace and the shoes," he says, "and create that novel identity."
