About Dior x Birkenstock collab

Famous for its corked footbed sandals range, the German shoe manufacturer is bringing in its new range in collaboration with luxury fashion house, Christian Dior.

For the new footwear line, the collab drew inspiration from the workable yet well-liked shoe trend. The luxury fashion brand has redesigned its functional bohemian essentials into uplifting casual footwear.

The five latest designs were recently unveiled by the Dior Men’s senior shoe designer Thibo Denis as he took to Instagram to show off the brand new designs. By choosing all the soft pastel shades like light gray, beige and rich mocha brown, the footwear is designed based on utilitarian principle. The shoes are precisely embroidered with floral patterns, featuring silhoutte-like finishes with signature Dior trademarks on the buckle that make it more appealing.

Previously Birkenstock had also collaborated with other high-end fashion labels like Rick Owens, Proenza Schouler and Jil Sander where they created classic shoes and unisex sandals.

Established by Johann Adam Birkenstock in 1774, the brand is a German private shoe company.
