Birkenstock introduces its new Cannes silhouette, which is a slingback design that embodies a premium construction. It is essentially an elevated version of the classic Milano shoes. The updated elements include the glossy leather straps as it all rests on top of a black tonal leather footbed.
This stands out from the usual cork footbed by the brand and is notably a general-release model as well. The Cannes is also similar to cues drawn from the 1774 line with a slimmer silhouette than its predecessor. So far, the shoe seems to come in three colorway palettes, all of which are neutral for a versatile look, coming in white, black, or cream across the forefoot accented with buckled detail.
