A TRIO OF ICONIC BIRKENSTOCK ANNIVERSARY DROPS
Celebrate the rich legacy of BIRKENSTOCK with three timeless Anniversary Editions


1963 MADRID @60
Experience the heritage of BIRKENSTOCK with MADRID. Applying the cork-latex BIRKENSTOCK footbed to a sandal for the first time, the one strap sandal was at once a symbol of design and craftsmanship. MADRID was gender-neutral, featuring an adjustable leather strap whose minimal design allowed for unbeatable air circulation around the foot. MADRID defied all trends and eventuality took its place at the heart of popular culture — precisely because of its unique style and functionality.


1973 ARIZONA @50
Embrace the icon that is ARIZONA, the two-strap sandal that took the world by storm after its release in 1973. Having evolved from the closed Zurich model and enabling a much greater degree of breathability, ARIZONA encapsulated the style and functionality of the footbed and was a versatile evolution of the original BIRKENSTOCK design philosophy. Little wonder ARIZONA remains to this day the most popular supermodel in the BIRKENSTOCK family.


1983 Gizeh @40
Indulge in the style and functionality of GIZEH, the thong-style sandal, which launched in 1983. As his company grew, designer Karl Birkenstock continued to embrace the bold new aesthetic of the era. His design combined the T-shape form of the ‘toe bridge’ with the distinctive wide silhouette of the footbed. The Gizeh, combining a fashion-forward aesthetic with the imperatives of foot health, remains a favourite for anyone appreciating both form and function.
