If there’s one common feature of Filson and Birkenstock, it’s their mission to create designs based on quality and versatility. With this purpose in mind, these two brands have decided to join forces to create the ultimate collection built on craftsmanship and style. Based on classic Birkenstock designs and carrying Filson’s stamp of quality construction, these four new footwear options are essential for anyone seeking high-quality shoes. From the classic Birkenstock London style to cozy boots, there’s something for everyone in this collection. 

The Filson x Birkenstock collection

Available in one colorway, the Filson x Birkenstock Skykomish boot is all about using the highest quality materials and construction. This design uses Filson’s waxed cotton Tin Cloth, a cleated outsole, and Birkenstock’s famed footbed.  Birkenstock’s Deep Blue footbed has a four-layer support for shock absorption and maximum comfort. The boot’s uppers are made with oiled nubuck leather and Filson’s signature oil-finish Tin Cloth mixture for further weather protection. With an anatomically shaped toe box and plenty of support in the midsole, this boot is ready for an all-terrain adventure.

The Lahti boot comes in two chic colorways and contains Filson’s iconic Mackinaw Wool for those seeking a cozier option. Available in Forest Green/Roast and Flame/Mink, these boots are perfect for keeping your feet warm during chilly weather. With the same insole and midsole features as the previous boot, these shoes have the same comfort and stability. The uppers on these boots vary, with the Flame/Mink option carrying Mackinaw Wool with suede and the Forest Green/Roast boot made with wool and oiled nubuck leather. This boot’s outsole is constructed with a rubber cork and a cork running board. 

It wouldn’t be a Birkenstock collaboration with the famed London style. Featuring Filson’s dual-strap adjustment and moccasin-toe construction, this iconic design is available in two classic colorways. Containing leather uppers and an anatomic cork/latex footbed, this version of the London style is much more fashion-forward and timeless. The entire collection is available via Birkenstock’s 1774 and Filson’s website, with prices ranging from $375 to $625.

While many collaborations take inspiration from specific trends or designs, the latest Reebok partnership takes its form by celebrating culture and rich history. Along with Tobe Nwigwe, Reebok has unveiled a new reimagined sneaker that combines culture and classic design. This collaborative sneaker is more than another footwear option in two contrasting hues. Using one of Reebok’s heritage silhouettes as a base, this modern reiteration is a colorful cultural statement that will become a beloved design. Besides the significance of the details, the sneaker has a unique shape that contrasts with many of Reebok’s more recent releases. With an overall unique design, this collaboration will become a staple for the brand this year. 
Tobe Nwigwe x Reebok Chukwu OTU

Based on the classic Reebok Preseason 94, the newest Chukwu OTU is a collaborative design that adds plenty of cultural significance and modern details to its creation. Beginning with the name “Chukwu,” an Igbo term for God, Nwigwe used his spiritual beliefs and Nigerian heritage to embody his design. “OTU” is another Igbo term for “One,” giving the sneaker a cultural meaning from the beginning. Another detail that pays homage to Nwigwe is the distinct use of mint green as one of the colorways and an accent detail for the black hue. Since 2020, Nwigwe has utilized the hue to capture his creative journey and perseverance. This sneaker, crafted with hairy suede, nubuck, and textile materials, is full of statement details that come together. Complete with a side zipper and intricate lacing system, the sneaker is more than just its outward appearance. Set to be released on February 21 via Reebok’s website for $200, this sneaker is a testament to Nwigwe’s creative expression and culture.

Fresh off their recent collaboration with Dover Street Market, adidas and Brain Dead have already announced their next project. With an interesting and bold new sneaker, the two brands have taken their love for texture to the next level. Using one of adidas’ iconic silhouettes, Brain Dead has tapped into the use of a hairy material to modernize the classic design. While the newly announced sneaker might not be the most versatile or minimalist shoe, it’s certainly an eye-catching design that’ll create a statement moment. Along with the eclectic exterior design, this shoe comes equipped with some of adidas’ most premium footwear features, making it an optimal choice. While fans will still have to wait a few more weeks to get their hands on a pair, there’s no doubt this adidas x Brain Dead collaboration will create major waves again. 
Brain Dead x adidas Forest Hills “Violet Tone”

Based on the classic adidas Forest Hills silhouette, the newest collaboration is nothing like the original sneaker released in 1976. While the Forest Hills sneaker was once considered a staple tennis sneaker, its lack of release has converted it into an archival design last seen in 2018. With the addition of a dark green hairy suede upper and burgundy accents throughout the shoe, Brain Dead has injected new life into this once-forgotten sneaker. Completing the design are off-white leather stripes and lining, which balance out some of the moodier hues found on the uppers. Continuing the use of bold hues, Brain Dead has also added touches of lime green on the tongue and insoles. Rounding out the design is a black sole, which adds edge to an already bold design. While there’s no doubt the shaggy suede uppers won’t appeal to the most minimalist dresser, it’s certainly a bold texture that’ll add depth and visual interest to any look. For those itching to add a pair to their closet, the rumored release date has this sneaker in stock in April 2025.
