Birkenstock × Etro

Dossier Fashion Feature — Birkenstock × Etro

First unveiled during the Etro Fall/Winter 2026 runway at Milan Fashion Week, the collaboration between Birkenstock and Etro now unfolds worldwide, bringing together two heritage houses united by craftsmanship, authenticity, and enduring design.

The Boston Reimagined

Marking the first release of the partnership, the collection revisits the iconic Boston clog, originally launched in 1976 and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Through Etro’s unmistakable codes, the silhouette is transformed into a wearable canvas of heritage and artistry, making its debut in South Africa for the very first time.

A Shared Vision

The collaboration reflects a dialogue between German precision and Italian exuberance. Birkenstock’s comfort‑driven ethos meets Etro’s eclectic storytelling, resulting in footwear that is both timeless and unexpected. Each pair embodies a balance of utility and ornament, echoing the values of both maisons.

Availability

The first chapter of Birkenstock by Etro will be available in South Africa from September 10, 2026, exclusively at the V&A Waterfront store and online at birkenstocksa.co.za/1774.
