# Animal-Printed Furry Slip-Ons Opening Ceremony and Birkenstock Create Some Cozy Footwear Options By Amy Duong | Published 2018-12-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opening-ceremony-and-birkenstock References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/12/opening-ceremony-birkenstock-slip-on-capsule) & [openingceremony](http://www.openingceremony.com/) 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.
