This BIRKENSTOCK x sacai Collaboration Is About To Be a Hit In 2027

It’s a collaboration we never knew we needed.

That’s right. Birkenstock has joined forces with sacai’s visionary creative director, Chitose Abe, for a thrilling collaboration. Revealed at the Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show, this collection beautifully reimagines Birkenstock’s iconic codes with Abe’s signature concept of hybridisation.

At the heart of this artistic journey are three classic Birkenstock models, transformed into two stunning new silhouettes. The Aoyama 107 pays homage to the brand’s heritage by fusing the iconic one-strap Madrid sandal from 1963, featuring the Big Buckle, with the Arizona sandal, defined by the original square buckles that debuted in 1973. Additionally, its name may be familiar to some, as it draws inspiration from sacai’s iconic store in Tokyo’s Aoyama district.

Take a peek at the Birkenstock x sacai collaboration:

Meanwhile, the Cassette 75 elegantly intertwines elements of the Arizona sandal with another beloved icon, the Boston clog. In fact, the silhouette is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Furthermore, the silhouette is also another homage to sacai’s Paris headquarters on the historic Rue Cassette.

Crafted from the finest natural and suede leathers, this collection remains rooted in Birkenstock’s unparalleled comfort. It also highlights the brand’s signature cork-latex footbed wrapped in leather. With a refined colour palette of taupe and black that defines Birkenstock’s essence with Sacai’s edge, each pair offers a refreshed take on traditional footwear while maintaining the iconic house codes between both brands.

And dare we say that we’re in love with this collaboration? Not only does it bring two very distinct yet exceptional worlds together, but it also offers an innovative yet purposeful take on fashion that could easily be crowned the ultimate summer sandals in 2027. We can’t wait for this collection to hit the shelves.
