Birkenstock “KYOTO” features (1) “A Japanese-inspired design inspired by the ancient capital of Kyoto.

The major design points of “Kyouto” are the overlapping layers of leather, which are based on the “collar match” of a kimono, and the strap design, which looks as if it is occupied by an obi belt. These distinctive designs seem to evoke the image and history of the ancient capital of Kyoto. The design base for the upper is the ZURICH, with its distinctive double monk. Many Birkenstock sandals with straps, including the Zurich, are equipped with a buckle for attaching and detaching, but the Kyouto has a Velcro design for easier attachment and removal. Compared to items with conventional buckles, the Kyouto is even simpler to adjust in size, making it a model with an approach to fit that caters to a wide range of generations and demographics.

The materials will be introduced in more detail later, but it is worth checking back every year as new variations are added every season.
