Birdies' The Speedbird Capsule is Elegant and Colorful
Birdies has expanded its footwear lineup with the introduction of The Speedbird, a collection of elegant ballet-inspired sneakers that are perfect for everyday wear.
The footwear silhouettes boast ballet-inspired design elements such as a scalloped toe shape and contrast stitching, while staying true to the performance features associated with the brand’s comfort-focused heritage. The Speedbird is available in four colorways — from metal leather finishes to multi-tone suede options. The ballet-inspired sneakers also include a collapsible heel for slip-on convenience, a removable contoured arch support, a shock-absorbing footbed, and a flexible textured sole intended to provide cushioning and stability.
The Speedbird collection represents a move beyond Birdies’ established range of flats and slides into the sneaker category.
