For the Dior Men’s Winter 2022-2023 collection designed by Kim Jones, Dior teamed up with Birkenstock for the first time, unveiling two reinvented iconic Birkenstock models.  The Tokio mules and Milano sandals with their anatomically-shaped cork latex footbed are respectively dressed in felt and suede, tinted with the colors of the season and the ever-present Dior gray.  As a tribute to Monsieur Dior’s passion for the art of gardening, their functional style with rubber details and industrial buckles evoke the emblematic features of the equally iconic Dior saddle bag. The result of a unique creative dialogue, the soles of these reinvented models combine the Dior oblique motif with Birkenstock’s signature bone pattern.

As a final surprise; an exceptional version of the Tokio embroidered mules, with delicate flowers by the Ateliers de Broderies Vermont, completes the show’s couture silhouettes and reflect several areas of expertise.  The collaboration is a contemporary ode to function and elegance and serves as a new symbol of Christian Dior’s love of nature.
