Birkenstock is teaming up with Faherty on a spring capsule collection featuring two signature footwear styles.

The capsule debuts the new Birkenstock Wire Buckle across the German footwear brand’s signature Arizona sandal and Boston clog footwear models. The new buckle style evolves Birkenstock’s classic hardware into a sculptural brushed-metal form with softened edges and an industrial finish.

Grounded by the signature Birkenstock contoured cork footbed, the new styles are crafted in smooth, premium Nubuck leather and are available in a creamy neutral Sandcastle and classic Black colorways.

The release comes just weeks after Birkenstock revealed its latest capsule collection with Staud for spring 2026. The new drop featured updated versions of the German footwear brand’s Arizona Big Buckle and Madrid Big Buckle sandals that aim to add a bit of the Los Angeles city-to-surf sensibility.

Reimagined with raffia and finished in the new Carafe hue, the refreshed Arizona and Madrid models feature a woven texture and gold hardware, which sit on top of Birkenstock’s signature contoured cork footbed.

These new collections also comes as Birkenstock said in its most recent earnings report last month that it experienced strong holiday demand, especially for clogs, shearling and other closed-toe shoes and boots.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the German footwear company reported that it saw net revenue of 401.9 million euros, an increase of 11.1 percent from 361.7 million euros the prior year period.

Oliver Reichert, chief executive officer of Birkenstock, said in a statement in February that the company’s first quarter results “show the continued strong demand” for the brand throughout the important holiday season.

“Our unique business model is designed for resilience,” Reichert said. “Our vertically integrated supply chain means we are capacity constrained by design. We will steer our business by geography, channel and product to maximize profit per pair and maintain strong brand equity.”
