Filson x Birkenstock 1774 Skykomish (Forest Green)

The Skykomish Boots of the Filson x Birkenstock collection is a striking example of how two renowned brands combine their respective strengths in a unique collaboration. For the current season, the traditional brands have joined forces to present a small but exquisite shoe collection that combines both the rustic, functional aesthetics of Filson and the proven craftsmanship of Birkenstock.

The Filson x Birkenstock collaboration is part of Birkenstock's exclusive 1774 line, named after the brand's historical origins. The collection is characterized by creative partnerships that prioritize the highest quality and time-honored manufacturing techniques. Working closely with like-minded brands like Filson, which share a passion for design and precision craftsmanship, the collection creates shoes that build on the signature characteristics of Birkenstock and interpret them through a new artistic lens.

Individual components of each pair in the Filson x Birkenstock collection are manufactured in German workshops using specially procured materials that are made from a high percentage of natural resources. These sustainable materials, combined with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, guarantee not only outstanding comfort but also durability and a long lifespan. Before the shoes go on sale, they undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure that they meet the high standards of both brands.

The design of the Filson x Birkenstock Skykomish Boots remains deeply rooted in the roots of Birkenstock. Each model begins with the characteristic molded Birkenstock footbed, known for its ergonomic support and exceptional comfort. But this base is enhanced by Filson's distinctive aesthetic. The upper is made from Filson's iconic Tin Cloth material, which is not only sturdy but also weatherproof, giving the shoes a rustic, utilitarian look.

The vamp is made from premium oiled nubuck leather, which adds a sophisticated yet durable touch. An additional protective cap made of textured rubber offers zonal protection, perfect for outdoor adventures or everyday wear, where sturdy shoes are essential. The dense stitching is both functional and aesthetic, and recalls the iconic shape of the Birkenstock footbed, further emphasizing the connection between the two brands.

Other functional details such as the zipper make them easy to put on and take off, while the Filson x Birkenstock patch made of oiled nubuck leather, including the Birkenstock foot logo, stylishly emphasizes the collaboration. The deep blue footbed provides comfort and support, offering both cushioning and grip, while the professional-inspired rubber outsole with lugs ensures true durability and traction on any surface. The cork walking board in the midsole rounds off the design with signature Birkenstock comfort.

Overall, the Skykomish Boots out of the the Filson x Birkenstock collection, made in Portugal, embody the best of both worlds: Filson's functionality and durability meet Birkenstock's ergonomic excellence and comfort – a perfect shoe for adventurers and style-conscious wearers alike.
