Rick Owens is a master of subtle overstatement. For his BIRKENSTOCK Limited Collection, the acclaimed designer chose a playful approach, confronting the canon of minimalist design with luxury materials. Take the Boston Clog; this style has received an elegant makeover, in glossy leather that is butter-soft yet rugged, smooth yet with a unique surface texture. Boston is paramount among BIRKENSTOCK styles at squaring the circle, providing freedom of movement plus comfortable support. Its secret is the upper with integrated strap, which Owens chose to extend and transform into a design element.
Anatomically contoured cork/latex footbed
Upper: smooth leather
Insole: tone on tone, smooth Exquisite leather,
Insole features an embossed “Rick Owens" detail
Details: adjustable metal buckle in matte finish to match shoe color
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: Nappa leather
Nappa leather is a high-quality and very supple smooth leather. Nappa leather is very easy to shape, so it is a very good material for lining the footbed.
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.
