Minimalist BIRKENSTOCK Styles The Offer Great Comfort

When comfort and style merge, the result is sheer luxury. With BIRKENSTOCK, you get the best of both worlds.

For those of you who love the snug hug of a broad design with high coverage, we suggest our humble fashion statements, Kyoto and Nagoya. While the slip-on sandal and the clog have different visual appeals, the unparalleled comfort and their sophisticated style is a thread that runs common.

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.
