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
