Stussy and Birkenstock have teamed up again, and this time they’ve created a new pair of sandals, the Solana. It’s inspired by Birkenstock’s classic Kyoto one-strap style, but with a fresh twist.
It’s an unusual move for Stüssy not to deliver another Boston, the clog silhouette that streetwear heads and menswear aficionados have breathlessly embraced in recent years. But the Solana has proven to be a much-needed refresher in the shoe world. This slip-on is their third collaboration and features Birkenstock’s cork footbed, a large suede upper with a sheepskin lining and a Velcro closure. You can get it in three colors: Bone, Caramel and Washed Green, each with the Stussy branding.
This collaboration follows their previous releases – the 2021 and 2020 Boston clogs, with variations such as corduroy and smooth suede in different colors.
Stussy has been busy with collaborations, including with Clarks Originals and Tekla, while Birkenstock has expanded its collaborations with Tekla, Beams and Dior. This latest offering from the duo comes as Birkenstock recently became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.
According to the brands, the shoe is made to be worn both indoors and outdoors. In the accompanying campaign images shared on Instagram on Tuesday, we see a whole series of models wearing sandals by a beach fire. The new Stussy x Birkenstock Solana sandals became available globally in select stores and online on November 24, with an additional release from November 27 through 1774.
