Birkenstocks are meant to look lived in.
At least, that’s how we’ve always known them.
But in 2022, they’re looking a bit different – imagine an unlikely, yet wholly glamorous update thanks to a collaboration with Manolo Blahnik.
The new limited edition collection has seven pieces, all reworking two of Birkenstock’s most famous shapes: the two-strap Arizona and the closed-toe Boston clog.
Going for both comfort and style, the shoes are embellished with velvet, crystal buckles and leather.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, Blahnik said: ‘Aesthetically we may look different but fundamentally we have the same values; exquisite fit, craftsmanship and comfort are the most important parts of both of our shoe-making design and production.’
He added: ‘I wanted to make something that can be worn casually but also that I think would look fabulous with a ball gown, a sort of “dressed-up” Birkenstock.’
Blahnik is a long-standing fan of Birkenstock shoes too, and his ‘updates’ on the style mean your feet are less likely to ache when breaking them in – which is a common trade-off when buying regular Birkenstocks.
The iconic cork soles have been covered in leather tones to match the velvet used on top.
From bright fuchsia to sleek black, there’s a statement shoe for most sandal lovers in this collection.
Having a spring in your step just got a bit easier with these.
The collection launched on manoloblahnik.com on March 24. Prices start from £460.
