Birkenstock’s New Boston Clogs Strike a Critical Wire

Typically, essentially the most seemingly benign combos are those that take advantage of sense. Mustard and hotdogs. Medieval Instances and day-drinking. Barbie and Oppenheimer, if the numbers have something to say about it. It’s the identical seemingly random yang-yin issue that has us drooling over our newest unionized obsession, a tasty new assortment of corduroy-draped Birkenstock Boston clogs.
This launch has us notably excited for quite a lot of causes. Not solely does the Corduroy Assortment mark the primary common launch foray into ribbed uppers within the German sandal maker’s historical past (simply in time for corduroy season, aka fall), nevertheless it invokes shades of a GOAT-ed 2020 collab between Birkenstock and skate/surf model Stüssy. Usually thought-about a few of the most coveted Birks of all time — together with a subsequent scorching pink Stüssy clog and the Dior-stocks of 2022 — the velvety chocolate corduroy Boston captured the hearts and minds of socks and ‘stockers in every single place, with Hypebros and fashionTokers alike ravenous for extra. (Pairs nonetheless routinely fetch effectively over $1,000 once they pop up on secondary resale markets.)
Whereas the Birk-cord cosmic synergies are off the charts, it’s essential to notice that the Birkenstock Boston Corduroy Assortment isn’t technically, regardless of its title, truly constructed from corduroy. To the untrained eye, the riveted higher may look similar to a pair of chunky Ralph Lauren trousers or a crispy Carhartt hat, however the clog is definitely constructed from an embossed suede, designed particularly to imitate the usual corduroy impact.

No have to get upset — this alternative is each a non-factor for seems (we had you fooled up till now, didn’t we?) and, given the standard and shelf lifetime of Birkenstock’s high-grade supplies, a possible bonus for the sturdiness of the shoe. And it’s not simply the Boston Clog that’s been gussied up in fake wire. Birkenstock’s Corduroy Assortment consists of the long-lasting Arizona and Kyoto slides as effectively.
