BIRKENSTOCK and ADERERROR reunite

05.08.2026

BIRKENSTOCK reunites with ADERERROR, a global fashion creative brand rooted in Seoul, for their second collaboration. The capsule presents a refined reinterpretation of one of BIRKENSTOCK’s most iconic silhouettes: the BIRKENSTOCK Boston, the brand's first closed-toe clog, originally introduced in 1976 and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Built around BIRKENSTOCK's signature anatomical footbed, the Boston has evolved from a purpose-driven design into a global icon. Its minimalist, gender-neutral aesthetic has been embraced across generations and creative communities,
making it a universal wardrobe staple that bridges functionality, design, and culture.

Founded in 2014, ADERERROR is widely recognized for creating immersive brand experiences
through interconnected storytelling across fashion, space, objects, and content. Through a multidimensional approach spanning culture, design, and communication, the brand delivers unexpected experiences that inspire new perspectives and encounters. With a strong global following and a distinctive creative identity, ADERERROR brings a bold and thoughtful perspective to the BIRKENSTOCK universe.

In this second collaboration, ADERERROR reimagines the Boston in two distinct iterations.
Centered around the concept of ‘Thread’, the collection explores connection and continuity.
As the simplest medium capable of connecting two distinct worlds, a thread creates relationships
and forms new connections. For ADERERROR, the stitch serves as a visual representation of those connections — a trace left behind as separate elements come together to form a new relationship. Through this concept, ADERERROR brings a new perspective to the Boston, expressing the concept of Thread through narrative, design details, and visual storytelling.

The collection is composed of two styles — the Boston Cap and the Boston Flap — featuring stitch details and ADERERROR’s signature zigzag embroidery throughout. The Boston Cap, available in black and camel features a dual-layer leather upper and highlights functionality with a utilitarian leather cap. The Boston Flap, offered in ADERERROR’s distinctive Ultra Blue and an earthy Honey tone,
introduces an exaggerated upper flap that structurally reimagines the classic silhouette. The flap is fixed using white whipstitch elements.

The BIRKENSTOCK x ADERERROR collection will launch globally on August 6, 2026,
and will be available at 1774.com, adererror.com, and in BIRKENSTOCK and ADERERROR
retail stores, as well as through selected retail partners worldwide.

About BIRKENSTOCK

BIRKENSTOCK is a global brand which embraces all consumers regardless of geography, gender, age and income and which is committed to a clear purpose - maintaining foot health. Deeply rooted in studies of the biomechanics of the human foot and footed on a family tradition of shoemaking that can be traced back to 1774, BIRKENSTOCK is a timeless «super brand» with a brand universe that transcends product categories and ranges from entry-level to luxury price points while addressing the growing need for a conscious and active lifestyle. Function, quality and tradition are the core values of the lifestyle brand which features products in the footwear, sleep systems and natural cosmetics segments. BIRKENSTOCK is the inventor of the footbed and has shaped the principle of walking as intended by nature (“Naturgewolltes Gehen”).

To ensure these quality standards, the Group operates a vertically integrated manufacturing base and produces all footbeds in Germany. In addition, BIRKENSTOCK assembles over 95% of all products in Germany and sources over 90% of materials and components from Europe. Raw materials are processed to the highest environmental and social standards in the industry. For materials testing BIRKENSTOCK operates state-of-the-art scientific laboratories.
