Artisanally crafted version of the classic Birkenstock Boston sandal launched by Kith.

The Braided Boston, a new collaboration between Kith and Birkenstock, has officially launched today and is now available through Kith's stores and website. This latest version of the Boston shoes, which has experienced a renaissance in LA, is a fashion statement that is sure to turn heads.

Priced at $340, the Braided Boston comes in three colorways: Mocca, Taupe, and White. The Taupe colorway boasts more assertive beige tones, while the Mocca offers a rich brown suede that is incredibly versatile. The White colorway features a unique rainbow-threaded braiding, serving as a conversation starter.

The marquee feature of the Kith collab is the hand-braided detailing that wraps around the entire upper of the Braided Boston. Each pair is individually crafted by artisans, creating intricate patterns that result in subtle variations, particularly noticeable in the White colorway's rainbow underlay threading.

The collaboration packaging includes exclusive co-branded boxes, adding collector appeal. Birkenstock's iconic buckle hardware is also present on the Braided Boston, paired with the signature cork-latex footbed and a standard EVA outsole for lightweight durability. Kith's script branding appears debossed on the adjustable strap of the shoes.

The new Braided Boston from Birkenstock's 1774 sub-label is approaching its 50th anniversary in 2026. The collaboration between Kith and Birkenstock for the latest version of the Boston shoes was developed by Kith and will be released on August 28, 2021, through Birkenstock's 1774 label platform.

This collaboration between two iconic brands is set to make a significant impact in the world of fashion, offering a fresh take on a classic silhouette that is sure to appeal to both fashion enthusiasts and casual shoe lovers alike.
