Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises; some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while others, well, let’s just say should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration last year, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could we.
Bringing all of Proenza’s design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock’s iconic sandal, the resulting styles entered the market just as the ‘Gorpcore’ trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, they were a rare meeting of form and function. So, it came as no surprise to us when we found out this sellout collection was coming back for 2021.
