Paying homage to the Japanese art of Boro, the eponymous Birkenstock Boro pack displays meticulous craftmanship and design innovation by giving the brand’s beloved Arizona and Zürich models a fine twist. Designed by footwear pioneer Jesse Leyva, both sandals come with handpicked Japanese Boro blankets across the upper:
Boro, which translates to ‘rags’ in Japanese, is a 200-years-old handcraft practice for which scraps of old hemp fabric get pieced together into garments and blankets – upcycling before upcycling, so to speak. Boasting dark copper buckles and the iconic cork-latex footbed, providing a durable and minimalist foundation, both models are rounded out by classic rugged outsoles.
BSTN is thrilled to be the only premium retailer in Europe to bring you the Birkenstock Zürich Boro Tex and the Birkenstock Arizona Boro Tex: both pairs release at BSTN on Thursday, October 17th. Pick up your pair via the button below!
