Fear of God, and independent American luxury fashion brand, recently announced the second iteration of its partnership with Birkenstock. The Fear of God x Birkenstock slides feature a gray wool-focused design. The slides feature gray wool-felt-style straps, a gray padded insole, and a light beige outsole with dark gray trim. The slides can also be ordered in a brown colorway that offers a slightly darker color palate. The product was designed to convey a minimalist, Los Angeles-inspired image.
The Fear of God x Birkenstock slides are available now at Mr. Porter at an MSRP of $395 USD. The product is available in a number of sizes ranging from EU 39 to EU 46, though it is selling out quickly due to the reputation of the brands involved.
