Birkenstock have released an updated version of their iconic Arizona style, made with an EVA sole and upper. The lightweight sandals are quite affordable, have a more minimalistic aesthetic and come in a variety of tonal options.

—01. Made in Germany.
—02. Cork footbed.

Words

While Birkenstocks are good all year round, this version of their London model looks like an especially good summer option. Easy to wear with trousers or shorts, socks or sockless, the black leather is versatile and ages well, and the shoe features the brand's usual wide shape which is something I'm always drawn to.

Birkenstock Basel Slip-ons

—01-02. Wool and leather.

Words

I haven't come across the Birkenstock Basel before, but its simple mix of wool and leather looks rather nice, especially for the fall. The slip-on style is a nice alternative to the Boston, not that you really need one. The two-tone effect is rather nice, and unless you were able to score one of the exclusive Japanese models from Unionmade, there might not be a lot of options. They pair perfectly with some thick warm socks in the winter, and they combine well with denim or army trousers.

—01. Four colours.

Words

Unionmade have recently received limited stock of the Boston in a selection of Japan-only colourways. The two-tone Birkenstocks have a simple, wearable, yet unique look, making for a difficult choice between the four options.

Birkenstock Maine

—01. Mocca suede.

Words

I'm not very familiar with the Maine shoe by Birkenstock, but the full back and mocca suede makes for a unique style. Along the same lines as the London, having the full heel makes for a more practical shoe around the city without giving up the comfort of a Boston.

Birkenstock London

—01. Nubuck leather cocoa.

Words

The London is one of the Birkenstock models that still haven't made it over to our market. It's arguably one of the best as well, and the combinations of two-tone suede and leather-suede models are especially nice.

—02. Birkenstock Bostons.

Words

Everybody knows greens are good for you: spinach, olive drab or guap. Camouflage is going rather hard these days, but I don't see any need to shy away from it, especially on an off-beat garment as done by FC Real Bristol this spring.
