The Repetto renaissance continues, this time through an unlikely collaboration with Birkenstock. Available to shop now, the Repetto x Birkenstock collection captures the genre-bending spirit of both brands, applying the ballet-inspired twists we love to the iconic Arizona sandal and Boston clog and introducing a fresh new silhouette.
Merging two powerhouse brands with distinct aesthetics isn’t easy, but the collaboration does so with care, first by elevating the German brand’s best-selling styles with the Parisian house’s most notable colors: Iconic Pink, Flame Red, and Shiny Black. The Arizona is reimagined with glossy round buckles inspired by the La Ronde (the Round) dance figure, while the Boston gives way to the Operá: a minimalist slip-on clog with delicate bow detailing and trim, as well as removable satin ankle straps.
Finally, the Scala, the Operá’s more playful sister, is introduced as a Mary Jane crafted from smooth and patent leather and finished with two slim straps across the vamp. It’s the shoe you grab when you want to inject a little coquettish charm into your outfit yet still keep the overall look polished. Each style, available in European sizes 35–42, features Repetto’s signature Vichy-check lining across the footbed, as well as a 7mm-thick EVA outsole for comfort and support.
As ballet flats in every shade of the rainbow continue to dominate our wardrobes this year—we can’t stop wearing them with everything, from our jeans to our daintiest eyelet slips—it’s nice to have alternative options for when our feet need a little more support. Birkenstock’s podiatrist-approved catalog never fails to do the trick—and now we don’t have to choose between one or the other.
The Repetto x Birkenstock collection, retailing from $495 to $555, is available at 1774.com and repetto.com. Shop our favorite styles below.
