Birkenstock’s highly anticipated collaboration with Random Identities, Stefano Pilati’s first independent venture, was shown at the brand’s presentation during Pitti Uomo 97.
The Birkenstock x Random Identities footwear collection includes the Arizona classic sandal re-interpreted fashionably, featuring three new and original variations of different materials and prints, synergistically developed around a new structural element. Updating the iconic Arizona buckle strap with a customized, elastic strap in black. Sleek monochrome colored black leather, a striking brocade pattern as well as a custom olive leopard print on fur – the Arizona strikes with individuality while keeping the core values of both brands – quality, expertise, vision and fashion.
The full-size range collection will be available at www.1774.com and select retailers worldwide from January 10th.

About RANDOM IDENTITIES
First revealed in 2017, fashion designer Stefano Pilati’s newest project is Random Identities, a collection of ready-to-wear primed for our digitized era. Channeling the lessons of a dizzyingly comprehensive career across top fashion houses, among them Armani, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Pilati brings a unique expertise in design, tailoring, and silhouettes to bear in his contemporary work. The label’s menswearoriented garments inhabit a strain of head-turning provocation that is nonetheless deftly controlled by monochromatic color choices and stark detailing. Inspired by the dress-style of Pilati himself, the label’s categories strike a look that balances refined, rigid cuts with everyday wearability. His work is positioning the label for mass exposure: Pilati’s industry insider connections have been parlayed towards producing exceptional quality, with a digital-first model that edges past the contemporary moment into the future of high-end fashion.
