Editor’s Notes:Whether you call it mule, slip-on, or clog, Birkenstock's Boston shoes are undoubtedly the cool kids' footwear of choice nowadays, especially with approvals from streetwear and luxury brands like Stüssy, ADER Error, Manolo Blahnik, and Dior.
Even after its own football leathered and even UGG-esque drops, Birkenstock goes back to basics with its OG suede Boston clog.
Though customary Bostons take on minimalist neutral colorways, the latest clog has a serious case of the blues (in a good way though).
For its newest Boston Soft clog, Birkenstock douses the model in an electric blue colorway called "Ultra Blue."
Besides the vibrant primary-colored paint job, this is still the same old Boston clog we've all grown to love, touting its signature suede leather upper and rubber Birk-branded outsole topped off by the familiar comfy cork-latex footbed.
Then, it's always nice to see the famed Birk buckle. Speaking of which, has anyone ever adjusted it?
This isn't the first time Birkenstock's Bostons received a dose of the blues treatment.
While BEAMS dressed its royal blue Bostons with a contrasting black belt, Manolo Blahnik turned Carrie Bradshaw's favorite Manolos in the crystalized heel-free Birk mules.
Birkenstock's latest Boston clog is hard to resist with its eye-catching "Ultra Blue." After Europeans stockists got first dibs on the striking blue bad boys, the shoes saw a stateside sellout during its June 7 release at Nordstrom. However, the mule gods answered fans' prayers, restocking the pair at the luxury retailer.
With limited sizes lingering as we speak, I wouldn't think twice about copping the restock if I were you.
