Developed in the north of England, corduroy is often heralded as the “Manchester Cloth.” A rugged-yet-durable cotton, it was once the fabric of the metropolitan city where workers crafted swathes of the material for fashion brands. With its inexpensive production, corduroy was engineered for the masses, and to this day maintains an element of accessibility in its dense weave.
Bringing the material into a new realm, Birkenstock’s latest collection reimagines the ribbed texture through its signature suede leather. On the hard-wearing surface, the brand embosses parallel lines in a cord-like style which is then upholstered onto its footwear icons. From the Boston clog to the Bend Low sneaker, the technique gives the shoes a new edge whilst staying true to corduroy’s workwear heritage.
The release of the collection is supported by a campaign lookbook that harnesses this authentic take by honoring the material’s history in a series of industrial-look visuals. Titled “Be Original,” it showcases how this expansive range delivers a plethora of updated styles, allowing wearers to express individuality in their own way.

Model Name
Naples
About
Making its debut this year, the Naples showcases a new take on Birkenstock’s Buckley shoe. Combining its exposed toe box stitching with an integrated strap as well as other new elements, this silhouette revives the iconic model with details that are reminiscent of the old-fashioned moccasin slipper, the heritage-inspired corduroy make-up feels like a natural fit for the Naples. On the respective iteration, the embossed material features on the central panel with soft suede on the lateral sides and the focal strap. Not only enhancing its existing features, the transformation gives the model a more luxury feel.

About
Similar to the Naples, the Kyoto sandal draws inspiration from another one of Birkenstock’s classic shoes: the Zürich. Featuring a wrap-around upper that is tied together with a single strap, it brings a contemporary spin to its sandal construction. Keeping the sleek and understated look of the model, the new corduroy-inspired iteration places the ridged texture on the bottom layer of the upper while the top strap adopts a soft suede, decorated with an embossed brand logo.

About
Amongst Birkenstock’s growing range of sneakers, the Bend Low comes out top in versatility and practicality. With a rounded toe box, slim midsole and minimal detailing, the pared-back design is perhaps one of the easiest models to style, making it perfect for everyday wear. Considering these defining features, the corduroy adaptation features the newly engineered fabric on the upper, leaving the cork-filled rubber sole intact. By using an embossed version of the hard-wearing suede, Birkenstock is able to give the sneaker a new look while maintaining its all-round durability.
