After their successful collaboration last year, fashion powerhouse Rick Owens and German footwear brand Birkenstock have teamed up once again for a second taste of their unexpected partnership.

Focused on exalting the classic look of the Arizona Sandal, the California-born designer maintains a metallic finish on the upper strap and solid colors on the strap below, creating the new “Cream/Silver,” “Black/Silver” and “Silver” colorways. The footwear model’s elongated strap makes for an unorthodox touch all the while retaining Birkenstock’s definitive form and functionality. Rounding things up are contoured footbeds resting above the brand’s signature cork midsoles and rubber outsoles for maximum comfort and traction.

Priced between $286 and $317 USD, you can pick up a pair now at MATCHESFASHION.COM.

In case you missed it, Rick Owens just released a range of off-beat bunny and cyclops pouch-bags.
