Fear of God x Birkenstock Debut Collaborative "Los Feliz" Slides
The ultimate cozy girl shoe.
Fear of God and Birkenstock have joined forces for the first time to introduce the cozy, comfy slide of the season: the Los Feliz.
Named after Jerry Lorenzo‘s home in Los Angeles, the slides are developed exclusively with Birkenstock 1774. The inaugural release arrives with two colorways — a grayish-beige calf suede iteration and a wool felt option. Lorenzo explained in an interview with Vogue that the intention of the shoe was for ultimate style and comfort. “I chose to use the name for this Birkenstock project because it is one of the rare neighborhoods in LA where you don’t really need a car,” he explained the naming behind the design, adding, “you can walk from place to place, from the coffee shop to the store, and it is livable on foot. The design speaks to that lifestyle as well as the lifestyle of Los Angeles more broadly so it felt right to put the two together.”
The sandals are described to be inspired by the unique hillside enclaves of its Los Angeles neighborhood namesake and built with the easy, elevated fluidity that defines Fear of God’s design language, yet retains the purity and beauty of Birkenstock’s iconic silhouettes.” The minimalist creation, signature to Fear of God’s aesthetic, is rounded out with a raw outsole along with Birkenstock’s recognizable cork-latex footbed.
Take a closer look at the sandals in the gallery above and down below. The Fear of God x Birkenstock Los Feliz, offered in suede “Taupe,” “Cement” and “Ash” will release on January 25 via FoG’s website. The “Taupe” colorway will also be available in kids sizing. A global release will follow on February 24 via Birkenstock 1774’s stores.
