New York-based retail label works in collaboration with footwear label Birkenstock on two collaborative sandal designs. The duo drops an iteration of the Boston silhouette and the Arizona silhouette for the Summer season, boasting heavy patterns on both.
The signature silhouettes adorn the Arizona sandals in a blue floral design throughout the straps, informed on top of a white base foundation. There is also silver hardware on the buckles with branding details nodding to KITH on the end straps. The Boston sandals highlight a bespoke Moroccan patterning design throughout the uppers which are accented with rose gold hardware on the buckles, which also feature additional branding details. The two new sandals are set to launch today online at KITH.
