Birkenstock marks the start of a new lunar cycle on February 17, 2026, by introducing a special edition capsule that honors the rich symbolism of the Spring Festival. The collection reinterprets three of the brand's most iconic silhouettes through a design language that reflects deep emotional and aesthetic cues from the Year of the Fire Horse. Every model in this release is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, maintaining the brand DNA of quality and craftsmanship while offering a luxurious update to archival classics.

The Florida fine strap sandal receives a sophisticated execution in a deep Zinfandel red, a color chosen to represent the prosperity and good fortune central to the festival. Adorned with three golden D-buckles and high-shine leather, this interpretation brings a sense of uncompromising luxury to the original cork-latex footbed. The deep red hue serves as a direct nod to cultural traditions that believe wearing the shade invites success in the coming year.

Drawing inspiration from the Fire Horse, the Boston clog is reimagined with a textured black hair-on-hide strap that pays tribute to the untamed energy and grace of the zodiac sign. This new take on the classic Taupe suede silhouette embodies the horse’s symbolic associations with speed, strength, and the spirit of independence. Additionally, both the Boston and Arizona silhouettes feature a gold foil cloud motif, a traditional symbol representing harmony and transformation.

The collection concludes with a selection of models crafted in refined semi-matte leather or rich rust red and black velvet. These luxurious upgrades utilize the original half-exquisite or full-exquisite footbeds lined with premium leather for an elevated feel. Available exclusively through select partners and the brand’s online platform, this capsule reinforces a commitment to walking as nature intended while celebrating over two hundred and fifty years of orthopedic expertise.
