Its potential to take the world’s streets by storm this coming fall and winter is undeniably great: The NAPLES WRAPPED, with its elegant design update and subtle colors, is the new star in the BIRKENSTOCK firmament – but let’s start from the beginning.

The BIRKENSTOCK archive offers over 250 years of brand history, testament to expertise, individuality, meticulousness, and courage. Although the approaches varied greatly, the Birkenstock family, across generations, was primarily concerned with one thing: spreading the belief in ’natural walking‘ to the world and making it accessible to everyone.

True to the credo ‚Celebrating the archive – building the archive,‘ BIRKENSTOCK’s rich heritage continues to serve as a continuous starting point for the creation or further development of classic silhouettes such as the BOSTON, ARIZONA, and GIZEH. Developed in 1976, the BOSTON, initially called the ‚cork clog,‘ is now considered an icon of the collection, which has undergone numerous collaborations, is available in a variety of versions, and has been adopted by influencers around the world. The BOSTON, with its striking, brutalist-inspired design by Karl Birkenstock, is the first clog of its kind to feature the original BIRKENSTOCK cork-latex footbed, replacing the wooden platform common in the 1970s.

A DISTINCTIVE SILHOUETTE THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

The NAPLES WRAPPED is making its way into the BIRKENSTOCK collection in new versions and materials. A hybrid of clog and moccasin with an open heel, it can be versatilely integrated into any wardrobe year-round. A gender-neutral shoe that speaks for itself at first glance. Crafted from buttery-soft suede or oiled leather that completely wraps the silhouette – for a look that is both minimalist and elegant and an incomparable feel. This also reinforces the traditional characteristics of the moccasin, whose nature means it is increasingly adapting to adapt to the physiognomy of the foot. The slip-resistant and flexible BIRKENGRIP sole ensures firm grounding underfoot. The subtly visible seams in the color of the leather underscore the characteristic design language, testify to craftsmanship and attention to detail, and are guided by the design principle ‚form follows function‘. The NAPLES WRAPPED impresses for fall and winter with an exciting color palette that is being gradually expanded: from soft faded purple and cognac to thyme green and black. It is built on the cornerstone of every BIRKENSTOCK model: the footbed, which supports the foot in its predetermined position and balance, supporting it as nature intended.
