Birkenstock x Etro Drop Shearling-Lined Bostons and the First-Ever Arizona Collaboration
Featuring Pegaso-motif rivets, Western buckles, and paisley-patterned outsoles, these special-edition silhouettes are infused with signature codes from both iconic brands.
by Nonoka Fujiwara · HypebeastGerman footwear pioneer Birkenstock and Milanese luxury house Etro have unveiled their second collaboration. The launch introduces two exclusive models, marking the highly anticipated debut of the Arizona sandal in the two brands’ collaborative lineup.
Built on Birkenstock’s anatomically shaped footbed, this latest release incorporates Etro’s signature Western flair and a rich mink colorway. The collection seamlessly blends the defining design codes of both brands into classic, everyday staples.
The Boston clog features a suede upper lined with plush, sand-colored shearling, adding a rich tactile contrast to its classic, architectural silhouette. Meanwhile, the Arizona—originally designed by Karl Birkenstock in 1973 with Brutalist ideals in mind—pairs a suede upper with a tonal nappa leather footbed, beautifully elevating the iconic open-toe silhouette.
Both models are detailed with custom Western buckles that reflect Etro’s distinct aesthetic universe. Metal strap ends and rivets engraved with the house’s signature Pegaso motif add refined accents to the design. The outsoles feature a custom hybrid tread, merging Birkenstock’s traditional bone pattern with Etro’s iconic paisley print. The result is a perfect balance, anchoring Etro’s ornate decorative touches firmly within Birkenstock’s signature footbed and sole construction.
This collection also serves as a fitting finale to the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Boston clog. Following a runway debut in Milan, the two brands dropped their initial collaboration in September 2026, with the Arizona sandal now joining the lineup for this highly anticipated second installment.
The second “Birkenstock by Etro” drop rolls out starting Thursday, November 12, 2026, on the Etro official online store and the Birkenstock official online store, as well as at Etro boutiques worldwide, select Birkenstock locations, and authorized retailers. The Arizona is priced at 99,000 yen and the Boston at 105,700 yen (all prices include tax).
