The New BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD Collection Is Here!

Nothing makes us happier than when we get to offer our patrons, you, something new and exciting. With our hearts full, we announce the launch of the BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD collection. With a focus on men’s workwear sandals, old-world charm and handcrafting techniques are juxtaposed against modern aesthetics and comfort. What is #BOLD? BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD sees the revival of handcrafted techniques to reconstruct iconic styles, Arizona and Boston. The collection celebrates the essence of the human element in crafting something timeless. Focusing wholeheartedly on menswear, this collection is inspired by the traditional appearance and robust impression of vintage workwear. The classic styles are made using natural aniline leather with natural grain, tanned with vegetable oils and animal fats. The material is meant to improve over time and wear. For the first time ever, the sandals feature a double-prong brass buckle. The straps feature double-rowed eyelets along the entire length and have been widened for more stability and coverage. Originating from workwear and military shoes, the wider belts and double-pronged buckles are designed to be tougher, offer added grip, assume further stress of wear, and prevent twisting. The masculine collection is refined, long-lasting, and tremendously appealing. The Collaborations For this collection, BIRKENSTOCK has collaborated with key craftsmen and curators. The BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD  story resonates with curator Takashi Otabe, and master craftsman, James Otter. Takashi believes in bringing authenticity and longevity to any product that he retails at his menswear store in London. For him, any product that you buy must evoke joy and authenticity. His store, Cutch Café in London is all set to launch the beautiful #BOLD range. James Otter is a Cornwall-based master woodworker. He uses age-old techniques and timber to handcraft surfboards. He believes that the essence of a product lies in the human touch. Making something by hand forms a closer bond with nature. We collaborated to create a surfboard, a wooden handmade ‘eagle’, a complete antithesis to, and an aesthetic hard to replicate in mass-produced surfboards. The Collection Arizona Bold: The timeless sandal has been given a robust, old-school spin. Made from aniline leather from Horween, the subtle sheen, the sturdy dual straps with double-rowed eyelets, and double-pronged buckles give the sandal a traditionally masculine look. It features the iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed and is crafted in roast brown and black. Boston Bold: The classic BIRKENSTOCK clog has been given a traditional workwear sandal interpretation for the collection. The aniline leather from Horween has an understated lustre because of the oil treatment of the material. The broad single strap with dual rowed eyelets and double-pronged buckle enables a custom fit. The anatomically shaped footbed makes the foundation of comfort for the clog. Available in two shades, brown roast and black, this masculine Boston variant is sure to make heads turn. Exuding the ‘build to last’ spirit, the BIRKENSTOCK #BOLD Collection has been created with the sole motto of beauty and comfort that gets better over time. With #BOLD, celebrate the combination of strength and function with the timelessness and appeal of traditional workwear. Follow us on:

The New BIRKENSTOCK x Manolo Blahnik Collection Is Here!

Rise and shine dear fashionistas because the fresh BIRKENSTOCK x Manolo Blahnik collaboration collection has landed. The second collaboration between the two distinguished names is the perfect amalgamation of the creative and technical finesse of both brands. The iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed and classic designs have remained the inspiration for this collection as well. Manolo Blahnik lends his ever playful, attention-grabbing, and timeless elements to the classic models. This collection also features a new model, created by the revered fashion house. The perfect anatomically shaped footbed by BIRKENSTOCK is at the core of this collaboration, with an ethos that combines high fashion with utmost comfort. The basic monochromatic color palette gives the retro polka dot print a solid playground to make a striking style statement. Polka dots have been a Manolo Blahnik classic since the 1970s. Juxtaposing the timeless prints with the unchanged BIRKENSTOCK models is what makes this collection fresh and appealing. The favorite Boston and Arizona have been given the Manolo touch of spiritedness and splendor. The collaboration also introduces a new model, Rodra, a swoon-worthy design reveling in the best of both worlds: a contemporary and cheerful design, balanced with unparalleled comfort. Discover the collection here: Boston Manolo Polka Dots: The typically somber BIRKENSTOCK clog has been given the Manolo Blahnik touch of flamboyance and glamour. Reimagined in calf hair with the signature Manolo Blahnik polka dotted print, this classic clog is anything but basic. The footbed, lined with luxurious leather, is also covered in polka dots. The clog makes a striking style statement in black and white. Arizona Transparent: The timeless BIRKENSTOCK sandal has been given a modern, edgy upgrade inspired by Blahnik’s past collections. It features transparent PVC dual straps and black adjustable pin buckles. The slightly raised heel adds height. Though the style is inspired by the 70s, the cool twist elevates it as the perfect contemporary summer accessory. The slides will look especially stylish at the poolside. The see-through Arizona variant is available in black and white color options. Rodra Manolo Polka Dots: Rodra is a style that is equal parts BIRKENSTOCK and Manolo Blahnik. Keeping the iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed unchanged, the cross strapped style lends a playful twist, a reverent nod to the ever-known Manolo Blahnik signature style. The white straps with black polka dots and an adjustable buckle make a pleasing contrast to the black footbed with white dots. The print screams retro, but the design is post-modern pioneering. For all those who like a touch of whimsy in their everyday lives, this collaborative collection is a dream. With your head in the clouds and feet on the ground, channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw in your very own highly comfortable and stylish pair of BIRKENSTOCK x Manolo Blahnik sandals.

Do you usually go out for a run? or play any sport? Then, you know that it is common to experience some soreness in your muscles after an unusually strenuous activity, or when you are new to it. it is equally important to recover your body to its natural form. Usually, recovery happens with muscle treatment, stretching, good diet, and hydration. BIRKENSTOCK adds another dimension that is often overlooked: firm footwear. For BIRKENSTOCK, both style and comfort have always held equal importance. But what we really wanted to do was provide more than just comfort. We wanted to promote and offer good foot health to everyone, and also specialised solutions. BIRKENSTOCK sandals are designed thus to aid you in your recovery process after active sports. Our legendary footbed makes the foundation of active recovery. With the anatomically shaped contoured design that has a deep heel cup, longitudinal and traverse arch support, a toe box, and a toe bar, it helps your feet maintain natural position even during movement and aids the rolling motion of walking.  While the traditional recovery route involves the passive approach of providing extra cushioning, BIRKENSTOCK believes in initiating the body’s adaptive responses, reduces the proneness to injury, and promotes muscular benefits. Our active recovery philosophy goes like this: Firm not Foam: The firm footbed with its arches supports and distributes your weight evenly. Cork not Cushion: The natural cork footbed offers balance, support, flexibility, and shock absorption. Stable not Squishy: Our stable footbed promotes a good stance with enough room for toes that boosts natural walking motion and blood circulation.

The single strap with an adjustable metal pin buckle allows you to tighten or loosen it as per your comfort. Boston is available in regular, soft footbed, and vegan variants in dark neutrals, and is perfect during recovery, as well as an adventurous day spent outdoors.
