Birkenstock Americas has opened its seventh company-owned retail store in the United States located on Newbury Street in Boston, MA. The company said the Newbury Street area represents the heart of Boston’s retail landscape and exemplifies the city’s perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary style.
“Designed with a focus on quality and craftsmanship, the store’s interior showcases the brand’s heritage materials of cork, felt, and leather,” the company said in a media release. “A brand history area features archive materials and artifacts commemorating 250 years of Birkenstock tradition in shoemaking – a milestone anniversary that underscores the brand’s enduring commitment to purpose, function, and quality.”
The Birkenstock Boston store on Newbury Street offers an extensive range of products for women, men and kids including sandals, clogs, sneakers, shoes, boots, and socks. Additionally, the location features the new Birkenstock Care Essentials collection, marking an exciting expansion into foot care with premium balms, oils, and other products that further the brand’s dedication to foot health and walking as nature intended. The new location enhances the shopping experience through digital integration including BOPIS (buy online pick up in store) and BORIS (buy online return in store) services.
“Opening our seventh retail store in the namesake city of our iconic Boston clog is a particularly special moment for the brand,” noted David Kahan, president, Birkenstock Americas. “Boston’s rich history and contemporary energy perfectly align with Birkenstock’s values of tradition and innovation.”
As part of the opening celebrations, Birkenstock has collaborated with artist Kevin Mirsky to create exclusive artwork celebrating the distinctive character of Boston and Newbury Street. The artwork will be featured on limited-edition tote bags and stickers available as special gifts.
The opening of the Boston store marks the seventh Birkenstock owned-store in the United States alongside locations in New York City, Brooklyn, Venice Beach, Miami, Marin County, and Austin. The store opening coincides with Birkenstock’s 250th anniversary, celebrating a heritage built on the principles of purpose, function, tradition, and quality – values that continue to guide the brand’s innovation in footwear and foot health.
