This season, Birkenstock isn’t just stepping into summer – it’s charging into it with purpose, colour, and craftsmanship that celebrates curiosity. The globally loved German footwear brand has officially unveiled its Spring/Summer 2025 campaign, “An Ode to Wanderlust,” and it’s all about motion — the kind that begins with your feet and ends with unforgettable memories.
Whether you’re chasing city sunsets in Joburg, strolling down Muizenberg Beach, or navigating the winding trails of the Drakensberg, Birkenstock’s newest drop is your passport to comfort and effortless cool.

🔥 Buckles That Talk Back: Statement Pieces Redefined
At the heart of the SS25 collection is Birkenstock’s next-level buckle game. We’re not talking regular footbed fare – we’re talking luxury, innovation, and texture that could rival a high-fashion accessory drop.
-
The Droplet Buckle arrives in an elegant teardrop form on the iconic ARIZONA. Available in Zinfandel (a juicy wine hue) and the soft glow of Oyster, this one’s for those who like their footwear with a side of flair.
-
Big Buckle fans, get ready. Summer brings a tidal wave of new looks, from high-shine leathers in pastel-perfect Light Rose and Crocus, to full velvet-wrapped versions in Rust Red and Black. It’s elegance at every angle, without compromising on the soul-soothing support Birkenstock is famous for.
-
Wire Buckles debut in Vintage Wood Roast and Black, adding architectural edge to the ARIZONA and BOSTON silhouettes. Think: minimalist detail, maximum impact.
🧳 Summer Ready, Style Secured
This isn’t just a seasonal update – it’s a travel essential wardrobe. Papillio by Birkenstock, known for bringing elevated vibes to everyday adventures, is taking things up a notch.
The FLORIDA sandal and its new Platform EVA variant bring soft hues like Eggshell and Crocus, along with rich Zinfandel for those moments you want to make a quiet statement.
And for your poolside lounging or impromptu waterfall hikes? The EVA collection brings waterproof freedom to icons like the ARIZONA, MADRID, and GIZEH in juicy, tropical shades: Mauve, Light Rose, Surf Green, Gray Taupe, and more.
There’s even a stealthy new EVA ARIZONA with an invisible buckle, because sometimes, style whispers.
