Birkenstock × Rick Owens

Celebrated American designer Rick Owens partners with German shoe manufacturer Birkenstock to create limited edition Rick Owens Birkenstock footwear styles. Rick Owens Birkenstocks are highly coveted by collectors and everyday wearers alike for their avant-garde take on classic Birkenstock styles. Rick Owens x Birkenstock designs are known for their unexpected material compositions and exclusive colorways. The Rick Owens label has always prioritized both form and function. Yes, Rick Owens pieces are well-cut, asymmetrical and moody, but they’re also endlessly wearable. Pockets should be able to fit a book and shoes should be versatile enough to suit almost all settings. The Rick Owens and Birkenstock brands are more similar than one might initially expect. Both are genre-defining titans in fashion, prize attention to detail above anything else and lastly, have created some of the most recognizable brands in recent history. Beloved, practical and comfortable Rick Owens Birkenstock styles are made in the highest grade materials. Rick Owens Birks update the classic two-strap Birkenstock Arizona style with elongated straps and subtle luxury hardware. Fur Rick Owens Birkenstocks replace suede uppers with textured dyed cowhide to create a look that’s both pared down and theatrical. At first glance the Rick Owens Birkenstock Boston style looks eerily similar to the original. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice the slightly extended strap. Look again and you’ll spot the Rick Owens approved matte buckle.
