Animal-Printed Furry Slip-Ons

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Opening Ceremony and Birkenstock Create Some Cozy Footwear Options

— December 6, 2018 — Fashion
Opening Ceremony and Birkenstock work in collaboration on three signature footwear iterations -- the range features a 'Boston' slip-on and two 'Arizona' shoes. The Boston slip-on boasts a clog-like structure and is complete with hide materials in a leopard. It sits on a soft bed of black fur lining and a matching black outsole. The two Arizona sandal options include a zebra-themed version and a sleek white version -- both of which sit on the same furry bed of black fur.

The zebra-themed Arizona sandals boast the animal print over the straps and are accompanied by black buckles, whereas the all-white version is enclosed by a tonal white buckle. The collaborative animalistic pack is set to drop online exclusively at Opening Ceremony beginning December 7th.
