Birkenstock marks the 40th, 50th and 60th anniversaries of the Gizeh, Arizona and Madrid sandals, respectively, with limited-edition versions
1 June 2023
Good things come in threes. This month, historic German shoemaker Birkenstock – best known for its ergonomic sandals with signature contoured footbed – celebrates a trio of anniversaries for its Gizeh, Arizona and Madrid sandals, which are turning 40, 50 and 60 years old, respectively. Three of its most memorable styles – particularly the two-strap Arizona, which is arguably Birkenstock’s most well-known export – they are worn by ‘millions of people around the world’, according to the brand. Each of the sandals features the brand’s footbed, born from ‘orthopaedic experience passed down from one generation of the family to the next’ and originally inspired by a natural footprint in the sand.
In honour of the anniversaries, Birkenstock will reissue original versions of the styles in limited-edition numbers related to the year each was first released . Each of the colourful reissued versions will come with vintage-inspired socks, designed to complement the style . They will also each come with a wax seal-style tag to ensure their authenticity and a box inspired by archival packaging.
Of the three styles, Birkenstock describes the Madrid as ‘the mother of all footbed sandals’, recognisable for its slim single strap and buckle and ‘unembellished, functional aesthetic’ which reflected theof the 1960s. The bestselling Arizona is called ‘everybody’s favourite’, while the thong-strap Gizeh – introduced in the 1980s – is described as a ‘rendezvous with the world of fashion’ for the way it was adopted by industry insiders on its release.
