Birkenstock has partnered with renowned footwear designer Thibo Denis, who is celebrated for Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton sneakers and Dior Homme Birkenstock collabs, to launch a premium iteration within its high-end 1774 line. Revealed at Paris Fashion Week, the collection features rugged suede sneakers with a mule-style heel alongside full-heel sporty options, diverging from Birkenstock’s classic sandals into sophisticated, outdoors-inspired footwear.

This collaboration marries Denis’s skate-coded, chunky-sneaker aesthetic with Birkenstock’s signature comfort and traditional craftsmanship. The design reinforces Birkenstock’s expanding footwear focus, moving beyond cork-soled sandals into hybrid sneaker and boot territory, while tapping top-tier designer pedigree and runway exposure to elevate its premium profile.

Each pair reflects Denis’s signature attention to proportion, layering, and utilitarian details, while honoring Birkenstock’s legacy of ergonomic design. The result is a collection that bridges lifestyle and fashion-forward function, offering versatility for city wearers, design lovers, and those who appreciate comfort without compromising style.
