True craftsmanship is an increasingly rare commodity. So when Birkenstock collaborated with leather makers Horween, the results were always going to be something special.
There is a hunger out there for products deeply infused in the levels of craftsmanship exemplified by our two companies. We make things for people who value heritage, quality, and functionality; things that are more likely to wear in than wear out. Birkenstock’s values are mirrored perfectly in Horween, the Chicago family owned business whose name for over a century has been a watch-word for high quality leather.
The first fruits of the relationship between Birkenstock and Horween is the classic Birkenstock Boston and Arizona featuring ‘Basketball’ and ‘Football’ leather - as well as an edition of Bend, the shoe with the outward appearance of a stylish sneaker - underpinned with the unique and definitive Birkenstock footbed. These are beautiful products, which bring together the shared heritage of two family companies passionate about their craft.
