Following the debut of the second collaboration of Men’s and Women’s runway styles in the Rick Owens Spring / Summer 2019 shows, the first release of the second collaboration is set to be unveiled and will initially be available exclusively in pop-up stores and then at birkenstock.com/1774.

Professor Thomas Südhof describes himself as a typical nerd. The native of Göttingen, Germany, has been a Nobel Laureate since 2013 and teaches at the Stanford University School of Medicine, south of San Francisco. Südhof spoke with us about awards, fashion, and his meeting with Barack Obama – while wearing Birkenstocks, of course.

The beauty of idleness in six elegant styles, designed by the personification of the Italian way of life – Marie-Louise Sciò. For its newest collaboration BIRKENSTOCK was drawn to Italy, more precisely to Porto Ercole, perched atop the rocky coast of Tuscany.
