Concepts and Birkenstock celebrate a decade of collaboration with a limited-edition release of the Kyoto silhouette under the 'City Connection' campaign. This release, available in five colorways, pays homage to Kyoto, Boston's first sister city, and embraces the concept of "Japonisme."
The Kyoto sandal features a felt finish in classic hues inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Its design captures the elegance and simplicity of Kyoto, with a compact structure and individually adjustable buckle for beauty and functionality.
Birkenstock's renowned footbed ensures comfort and foot health, while the felt finish and classic color palette evoke the ambiance of Kyoto's temples and shrines. Co-branding on the footbed and "Concepts" lettering on the leather strap highlight the collaboration's exclusivity.
The Concepts x Birkenstock Kyoto "City Connection" pack is now available in men's and women's sizes on Concepts' official website. This release perfectly blends style, comfort, and cultural significance.
