[Update 22 Nov 2023] With the arrival of official images, the Stüssy x Birkenstock collab has been unveiled! The duo presents the Solana Sandal, which features the footwear label’s iconic cork footbed, equipped with a co-branded shearling layered suede upper strap.

Available in three colorways–Bone, Caramel and Washed Green, the pairs will arrive on 24 November via Stüssy and 27 November via 1774 Birkenstock.

Stüssy and BIRKENSTOCK, legacy brands in their respective fields. Stüssy, one of streetwear’s forebears founded in 1980, and BIRKENSTOCK, German footwear specialists since 1774. One known for their timeless, classic streetwear aesthetic, the other for their comfort, style, and elegance.

In broad strokes, it’s a left field collaboration but it isn’t the first time the parties have joined forces. The last being the BIRKENSTOCK staple Boston clog, reimagined in corduroy. And another is purportedly underway, courtesy of @le.syndrome.

The leaked image merely portrays the shoebox of the upcoming release but it’s enough to ascertain its existence. Will they be taking on the Boston clog again, or will it be another one of the German shoemaker’s staple? The Arizona would make for an interesting canvas as well. But only time will tell.

But the wait wouldn’t have to be that long. Right now, it’s purported that the pair will arrive as soon as mid-November. So stay tuned, more details and images should emerge in the coming weeks!
