Kith is Dropping Another Birkenstock London Braided Pack
Following last year's collection, Kith and Birkenstock are back to bring us more London Braided colorways. While the first drop was all about clean, pastel color combos like cream and pink, this season swaps them out for richer, autumn-ready shades. The result? A lineup that’s likely to vanish from shelves even faster than its predecessor.
First introduced back in 1986 as Birkie's first-ever closed-toe style, the London was originally built for healthcare professionals who spent long hours on their feet. That said, despite its original purpose, it's since been adopted by sneakerheads and footwear connoisseurs all over the globe.
For the New York City streetwear imprint's next take, it's revealed the silhouette in a trio of colorways, including a black pair, some white ones, and a beige version that’s arguably the pick of the pack. Every single London is handcrafted in Portugal by some of the finest shoemakers in the world, and, unlike normal Londons, these are made of ultra-premium suede and finished with braided detailing that wraps around the entire outside of the shoe.
Kith Script branding is debossed on the buckle strap, while the German footwear company's signature cork midsole keeps things grounded in comfort. All of this is then packed in a special edition box that was made exclusively for this collaboration.
A release date for the Kith x Birkenstock London Braided Pack Fall/Winter 2025 hasn’t been confirmed yet, but expect to see the pairs featured in Kith's upcoming runway show. If it’s anything like the first release, expect stock to fly.
