The collection consists of two styles to choose from including the [Boston Clog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-boston-clog) and the Milano Sandal that are both observed in gray flat with leather accents overtop. Each of the styles are paired with the Dior-branded rollercoaster buckles that add a touch of a metallic accent against the otherwise soft materials. The Dior x Birkenstock Collection is set to release later this year and comes as part of the continued push towards high-end fashions that embrace comfort as consumers seek to balance style with the rise of stay-at-home culture.
