Table of Contents
Birkenstock and CNCPTS are releasing a new iteration of the iconic Boston clog, the “Felt” series, in “Orange Felt” and “Graphite Felt” colorways on December 17th, priced at $195. The collaboration marks the fourth chapter in an ongoing partnership focused on material innovation and seasonal design, and serves as a prelude to the Boston clog’s 50th anniversary in 2025.
A New Take on a Classic
The latest collaboration between Birkenstock and CNCPTS reimagines the 1976 classic Boston silhouette through a contemporary lens. According to a company release, the project continues the brands’ shared emphasis on material warmth and seasonal storytelling. The new collection draws inspiration from the natural landscapes of New England, blending coastal grays with the warm hues of maple leaves to create a palette suited for colder weather.
Design and Craftsmanship
Each pair in the “Felt” series features a wool felt upper, complemented by natural vegetable-tanned leather laces. The clogs maintain Birkenstock’s signature cork latex footbed, known for its comfort and support, and are lined with suede. A flexible EVA outsole, patterned with a bone motif, completes the design.
The shoes are entirely made in Germany and available in unisex sizing, aiming to balance high-quality craftsmanship with everyday wearability. One analyst noted that this commitment to German manufacturing reinforces the brand’s reputation for durability and quality.
Continuing a Successful Partnership
This release builds upon a series of successful collaborations between Birkenstock and CNCPTS. The partnership has consistently explored new materials and designs while honoring the heritage of the Boston clog. “This is a warm-up for one of the brand’s most iconic shoe styles,” a senior official stated, highlighting the significance of the release as the brand approaches a major milestone.
The Birkenstock x CNCPTS Boston “Felt” collection will be available for purchase at Birkenstock and CNCPTS retail locations starting December 17th, offering consumers a stylish and comfortable option for the winter season.
