On our radar: Jil Sander / Birkenstock sandal collaboration

Jil Sander / Birkenstock sandal collaboration

I’ve been a fan of Birkenstock sandals for decades. They’re versatile, they can be dressed up or dressed down. They’re available in so many styles and colours for men, women and kids. They were one of the first footwear companies, to my knowledge, that had a range of vegan shoes. Most of all though, they were hard-wearing and comfortable.

This week, I discovered that there’s to be a Jil Sander Birkenstock collaboration – a range of four styles in three colourways. Prices range from £320.00 to £500.00. According to Birkenstock:

The three existing models, now with a wider, rounded and higher profile in black, extend the grounding but sophisticated feel. Its reimagined thinner buckles in precious satin nickel contrast elegantly with straps in raw edged calfskin and suede. Accompanied by neutral black, the warm colour palette of cream and olive underlines the natural look.

As an addition to the collection, the newly designed model Velan, a reinvention of the Berlin closed-toe sandal, with a soft nappa strap to wrap around the ankles, is the ultimate flat strappy sandal for sophisticated world travelers.
