Etro and Birkenstock collab marks Boston clog’s 50th year
Birkenstock and Etro presented their collaborative collection during Milan Fashion Week, centered on the Boston clog. Designed by Etro creative director Marco de Vincenzo, the collaboration marks the Boston style’s 50th anniversary since its 1976 introduction. The footwear features Paisley patterns, textured layers, embroidered details, and custom Western-style metal buckles. The uppers utilize suede and soft Nappa leather. The outsole combines Birkenstock’s anatomical bone design with Etro’s Paisley motif, while the signature contoured footbed is retained.
