# Graffiti Adorned Collaborative Slip-Ons Chrome Hearts Launches a New Birkenstock Boston Shoe By Amy Duong | Published 2022-04-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-boston References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/4/chrome-hearts-birkenstock-boston-collab-revealed) Graffiti artist Matty Boy showcases a new look at his iteration of the [Birkenstock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-boston-clog) Boston shoe for [Chrome Hearts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-hearts-and-birkenstock). He is a long-time partner of Chrome Hearts and he showcases the latest look online. The shoes are set in a clean white palette at the base foundation with leather materials and it features a graphic of his signature graffiti motif. The rest of the design includes a three-dimensional black and white web motif that rests by the word "Help" which is outlined in black and complete with magenta. As another nod to Chrome Hearts, there is a co-branded stud in between the strap right at the mule section along with the quintessential buckle. All of this sits on top of a white sole unit to finish the design.
