BIRKENSTOCK MARKS 250 YEARS
In celebration of 250 years of shoemaking tradition, BIRKENSTOCK presents the Art & Sole concept store, a 280 square metre space with a double-volume ceiling, located at 44 on Stanley, the heartbeat of Johannesburg’s creative community. Designed as an experiential space, Art & Sole commemorates the unique history of the brand while also celebrating the work of local artists and designers including Mpho Vackier, Naledi Modupi and Mandla Thabethe, to give it a distinctly South African feel.
BIRKENSTOCK has a rich history of designing iconic footwear centered around the original BIRKENSTOCK footbed. This timeless craftmanship is showcased in a beautiful space where, for a limited period, visitors can immerse themselves in the BIRKENSTOCK world.
-
Unique Footbed:
The signature feature of Birkenstocks is their contoured, anatomically shaped footbed, designed to provide arch support and distribute weight evenly. -
Materials:
Birkenstocks typically use natural materials like cork and latex for the footbed, along with suede, jute, and leather for the upper and sole.
