American streetwear brand Stüssy has partnered with Birkenstocks to once again reimagine the footwear maker's popular 'Boston' sandal. This time, the 'Stüssy x Birkenstock Boston' will be offered in three brand new, eye-catching colorways: 'Bone,' 'Dusty Pink,' and 'Caramel.'
These stylish clogs feature high-quality corduroy uppers, a single strap with a metal adjustable buckle, and a smooth, suede lining. Of course, the sandals will be equipped with Birkenstock's soft, mouldable footbed, as well as the brand's classic EVA outsole. To note the collaboration, each pair has a subtle Stüssy logo debossed into the sandal's upper. According to a press release, the company plans to release these minimalist sandals on August 21st, both online and in stores.
