Birkenstock
Birkenstock, founded in a German village in 1774, became trailblazers with their revolutionary flexible footbed soles in the late 19th century. By the 1970s, the brand had expanded globally, standing for comfort, functionality, and quality. Today, Birkenstock sandals are a design classic, with recent collaborations with fashion brands such as Proenza Schouler and Stüssy keeping them relevant to modern audiences.
