Manolo Blahnik and Birkenstock have teamed up yet again to drop another collection, and this time around, it's all about summer.
Back in March, Manolo Blahnik and Birkenstock dropped their first highly-anticipated collaboration. Now the unlikely power duo has teamed up yet again for a second drop complete with four styles. The first option adds a transparent, PVC strap to Birkenstock's signature white and black sandals. While the sandals are perfect for the pool, the other new styles – the clogs and Rodra sandals – boast black-and-white polka dots that make them ideal for an evening out.
The second Manolo Blahnik x Birkenstock collection will be officially released on June 23 and fans can grab their pair of choice from Birkenstock 1774’s website, or Manolo Blahnik’s online and offline locations.
