# Wide Leather Spring Mules Hender Scheme's New Manual Industrial Products 24 Nods to Birkenstocks By Amy Duong | Published 2021-04-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manual-industrial-products References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/4/nike-air-force-1-leopard-dj6192-001-release) Hender [Scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hender-scheme-2) introduces its latest mule silhouette for the Spring/Summer 2021 season and it boasts the name 'Manual Industrial Products 24.' The shoe is a direct celebration of the iconic [Birkenstock Boston](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-1774-1). The uppers are made using natural leather materials so that it gives it a beautiful aging process visually over time. Overall, it boasts a minimal design language that is complete in a light beige hue. The forefoot is designed to have a wide construction to provide additional comfort for the wearer. To finish off that area, it features a smooth and rounded toe cap. The top of the shoe is detailed with a belt that has adjustable elements with a small buckle and a small button that can be found on the medial side.
