Out of all of the podiatrist-approved shoes out there, Birkenstock’s high-quality arch supportive sandals have done the impossible and transitioned from a mere orthopedic basic to a runway-worthy closet staple. Don’t take our word for it. Just look at the luxurious fashion houses who are celebrating the comfort-first brand, with a series of Birkenstock collabs in the scene right now.
Dior’s Kim Jones turned Birkenstock’s Tokio mules into a work of art via sumptuous felt and suede fabrics along with dreamy flower embroidery. And there are several other equally as lust-worthy Birkenstock collaborations up for grabs right now.
Earlier this month, Staud debuted its sophisticated take on Birkenstocks, with butter soft leather sandals. And there’s a host of more designer alliances to shop below. From Manolo Blahnik to Proenza Schouler, these are the covetable Birkenstock collabs to shop now.
