55DSL teams up with German shoe manufacture Birkenstock, Arkitip and Aaron De La Cruz for this latest collaboration of stylistic fun.
At the centre of their creations are the limited edition 55DSL x Birkenstock Monterey Sandal. Artist Aaron De La Cruz expresses an alternative style to the classic Birkenstock sandal, which sees each pair have its own totally unique paint spatter, alongside the customised all-black colour base and a specially molded footbed for unparalleled support and comfort. Finishing touches include metal buckles embossed with the BIRKENSTOCK logo and the collaborating brands stamped into the footbed.
“Birkenstock stands for a long tradition in comfort shoe making with high quality standards. 55DSL is a young street wear brand with a strong credibility. The combination of the two brands is an unexpected and creative statement for the market”, says Rudy J. Haslbeck, Director Product & Design of Birkenstock.
The 55DSL x Birkenstock Monterey Sandle is released alongside a commemorative sweat and t-shirt, which also features black-on-black patterns, mirroring the sandles style approach.
Watch “the making of” video (below) and shop the collection exclusively via Hypebeast., Diesel and approved 55DSL dealers around the world.
