The iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed and classic designs have remained the inspiration for this collection as well. Manolo Blahnik lends his ever playful, attention-grabbing, and timeless elements to the classic models. This collection also features a new model, created by the revered fashion house. The perfect anatomically shaped footbed by BIRKENSTOCK is at the core of this collaboration, with an ethos that combines high fashion with utmost comfort. The basic monochromatic color palette gives the retro polka dot print a solid playground to make a striking style statement. Polka dots have been a Manolo Blahnik classic since the 1970s. Juxtaposing the timeless prints with the unchanged BIRKENSTOCK models is what makes this collection fresh and appealing. The favorite Boston and Arizona have been given the Manolo touch of spiritedness and splendor. The collaboration also introduces a new model, Rodra, a swoon-worthy design reveling in the best of both worlds: a contemporary and cheerful design, balanced with unparalleled comfort. Discover the collection here: Boston Manolo Polka Dots: The typically somber BIRKENSTOCK clog has been given the Manolo Blahnik touch of flamboyance and glamour. Reimagined in calf hair with the signature Manolo Blahnik polka dotted print, this classic clog is anything but basic. The footbed, lined with luxurious leather, is also covered in polka dots. The clog makes a striking style statement in black and white. Arizona Transparent: The timeless BIRKENSTOCK sandal has been given a modern, edgy upgrade inspired by Blahnik’s past collections. It features transparent PVC dual straps and black adjustable pin buckles. The slightly raised heel adds height. Though the style is inspired by the 70s, the cool twist elevates it as the perfect contemporary summer accessory. The slides will look especially stylish at the poolside. The see-through Arizona variant is available in black and white color options. Rodra Manolo Polka Dots: Rodra is a style that is equal parts BIRKENSTOCK and Manolo Blahnik. Keeping the iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed unchanged, the cross strapped style lends a playful twist, a reverent nod to the ever-known Manolo Blahnik signature style. The white straps with black polka dots and an adjustable buckle make a pleasing contrast to the black footbed with white dots. The print screams retro, but the design is post-modern pioneering. For all those who like a touch of whimsy in their everyday lives, this collaborative collection is a dream.

So, what do the modern South Korean brand and the German legacy name have in common? The love for clean and functional design with a strong sense of individualism, for starters. The collection brings together the timelessness and precision of BIRKENSTOCK and the vivacity and technical finesse of ADERERROR. The Campaign Titled “Too Passionate To Stop”, the campaign celebrates humanistic passion, spirit, challenge, and movement, both physiologically and psychologically.

Maintaining the characteristic BIRKENSTOCK sensibilities of utility and comfort, ADERERROR has added its FINE (Fun, Immediate, New, Easy) USP on the classic Arizona, Gizeh, and Milano models. The BIRKENSTOCK footbed remains unchanged for the simple reason that it is absolutely perfect in its structure. Known for using familiar things in an unusual way, the ADERERROR slogan, “But Near Missed Things” reflects in their use of ski boot buckles as closures. The signature Z-blue details voice youthfulness. All sandals have a co-branded silicone pin in the shape of the ADERERROR’s logo. The collection celebrates the youthful sentiment of duty and vocation, a multifaceted work ethic, and passion for what they chose to do with their lives. The Collection Arizona Tech ADERERROR: The familiar dual strap sandal has been reimagined in a distinct ADERERROR style. It is crafted from black-grain steer leather.

What Is BIRKENSTOCK 1774 All About?

Since the beginning, BIRKENSTOCK has pushed the envelope of innovation. We launched BIRKENSTOCK 1774 to create a space for creative expression. The BIRKENSTOCK philosophy and products became the inclusive blank canvas that designers, hoteliers, lifestyle brands, and photographers could use as a medium for a novel design revolution. What is 1774? Coined after the founding year of our illustrious brand, BIRKENSTOCK 1774 is our step into the world of luxury. Staying true to the BIRKENSTOCK core values of immaculate workmanship and high functionality, it is a modern celebration of the classic styles. At its core, BIRKENSTOCK 1774 is a celebration of distinctive BIRKENSTOCK qualities: devotion to craftsmanship, unparalleled ease, luxurious visual appeal, and flawless function. A whole new chapter of designer collaborations opened up with BIRKENSTOCK sandals playing muse to the world’s most renowned designers. A sentiment of indulgence rose when brands and designers like Valentino, Stussy, Manolo Blahnik, Proenza Schouler, Rick Owens, Jil Sander, and more collaborated with BIRKENSTOCK to showcase collections that were fluent in the shared language of exceptionality and luxury. The 1774 Appeal Classic BIRKENSTOCK sandals have been reimagined in a luxurious and quietly glamorous avatar. With color-coordinated footbeds, a rich color palette, and refined, plush materials, these BIRKENSTOCKS are distinctly different to the aesthetic you commonly associate with our everyday essentials. The BIRKENSTOCK 1774 range is simply pure art.  Some 1774 Collaborations: Valentino Garavani: This collaboration sees the timeless Valentino aesthetic rendered in the classic BIRKENSTOCK sandal Arizona. Celebrating the iconic sandal and the eminent luxury brand, the unisex sandal comes in oversized camouflage print in military green, vibrant yellow, and grey, adorned with the VLTN logo. The Valentino penchant for luxurious leather reflects in the contoured footbed, lined with luxurious black leather, and the tonal buckles on the straps. Proenza Schouler: The bustling city of New York inspired this collection. Urbane, edgy, and practical, this collaboration celebrates work, pace, and efficacy. The timeless Arizona and Milano have been given a refined upgrade. The contrast-colored topstitch on Specchio leather straps adds a striking detail. The cork footbed is luxuriously elevated by a covering of rich leather. The capsule collection is made in deep, bold colors, designed for those always on the go but uncompromising on comfort and style. Stussy: The second collaboration between Stussy and BIRKENSTOCK reimagines Boston as an everyday luxury basic. It features a dark brown suede insole and the zippy Stussy logo near the strap. Crafted from a single piece of cowhide suede leather, wearers choose to clad their feet in bone, dusty pink, and caramel shades. Central Saint Martins: This esteemed institutional collaboration started as a long-term project involving research and design innovation. Students studied in detail the heritage of the German brand and then produced their unique version of BIRKENSTOCK. This pioneered a never-before perception of the brand, a BIRKENSTOCK sandal straight out of kaleidoscopic dreams. Quirky, inimitable, and exclusive, the conceptions by designers like Saskia Lenaerts, Alecsander Rothschild, Alex Wolfe, and Dingyun Zhang reimagined and endorsed the core BIRKENSTOCK qualities with their design aesthetics. These BIRKENSTOCKS are for fashion makers with an eye for detail and style that turns heads. Exuding high fashion and luxury in all merchandise, 1774 excites, delights, and awakens the stylist within in pursuit of all things fine and limited edition.
