First unveiled during the ETRO Fall/Winter 2026 runway show at Milan Fashion Week, the collection now unfolds worldwide, bringing together two heritage houses united by a shared commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and enduring design. The partnership creates a dialogue between BIRKENSTOCK’s functional design principles and ETRO’s rich artisanal heritage and bold aesthetic language, resulting in a collection that is distinctive, versatile, and immediately recognizable.
Marking the first release of the collaboration, the collection introduces a reimagined interpretation of the iconic BIRKENSTOCK Boston silhouette. Originally launched in 1976 and celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, the Boston clog is revisited through ETRO’s unmistakable codes.
Throughout the collection, ETRO’s signature codes are seamlessly integrated into BIRKENSTOCK’s iconic silhouette. Paisley motifs, rich textures, and intricate detailing come to life through embroidered accents, long fringe, custom Western-inspired buckles and exclusive Pegasus-branded rivets. Each style is built around BIRKENSTOCK’s anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, fully wrapped in tonal leather, combining craftsmanship, functionality, and enduring quality.
The design extends to the outsole, where BIRKENSTOCK’s signature bone-pattern tread is elegantly paired with ETRO’s iconic Paisley motif, creating a distinctive signature visible with every step. A sophisticated palette of taupe and chocolate reflects ETRO’s refined aesthetic, while polished hardware and metallic accents introduce a contemporary edge.
