Magnetic duality
Duality that overcomes gender boundaries: For his second
collection for BIRKENSTOCK Rick Owens explores ambiguity in all
its forms and keeps his design anything but vague: Elegant oiled
nubuk leather contrasts with sporty hook and loop fastener, vibrant
coral accentuates the warm earth tones. For his woman collection
Owens adapts the dual design with form and colour awarding it
with subtle femininity. The Rotterdam sandal with a hook and loop
fastener speaks the universal language of BIRKENSTOCK, while
the shortened tongue of the slipboot Rotterhiker makes it even
more firm – for a confident step into the future.




















"Basically, Birkenstocks are like jeans, functional and sexy.
Maybe Birkenstocks are even the sexiest shoes ever."
Rick Owens for GQ Germany
