The Birkenstock 'Arizona' model has remained one of the German footwear label's most popular silhouettes, due to its comfortable construction that has a timeless aesthetic to it. In order to give the classic an update, Birkenstock joined forced with colette, a Parisian concept store that's known for its unique collaborations and luxury apparel.
In a minimalist fashion, the sandals are made up of black leather and have matching cork soles. On the leather straps, a series of royal blue dots are featured, which match the buckles that allow the wearer to tighten or loosen the fit of the sandals to their liking. The Birkenstock and colette collaborative release will be available in both men's and women's sizes starting on June 24th in limited quantities.
