The artful simplicity of the BIRKENSTOCK iconic Milano enjoys a luxury elevation thanks to Proenza Schouler’s ever-present refinery, in our classic cork footbed wrapped in premium soft leather.
Polished urbanism and durable simplicity meet in this edition of the Milano for BIRKENSTOCK x Proenza Schouler. The functional durability of the design receives an urban uplift, as we honor the classic sneaker detail of Proenza Schouler and employ a hook & loop closure in lieu of our three buckles.

The natural leather that we use is mostly smooth leather, in some cases tumbled leather. This type of leather has many special characteristics, such as breathability, adaptation to the shape of the foot and durability.
Insole: Natural leather
Natural leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. BIRKENSTOCK purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. BIRKENSTOCK uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material.
Footbed material: Cork
Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.
Outsole: EVA
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned.
