Kiwi Summer Stories in BIRKENSTOCK

Three stories, one purpose - discover how Birkenstock connects us all this summer.

Just as Birkenstock has stood the test of time since 1774, these kiwi summer stories remind us that every step we take is part of something bigger - rooted in tradition, built for the future. Each tells the story of real long-time BIRKENSTOCK lovers, their purpose and how they spend their kiwi summer.

By spotlighting real people and real journeys, we honour our purpose - to support every step, inspire mindful choices, and strengthen the connection between our communities and the earth we walk on.

Brie Liberty

Conservationist and coordinator of the Kids Discovery Plant Out Program.

"We try to teach our children to improve their environment and know that it doesn't have to be these massive big steps, but they can do little things, like plant a couple of natives. And all those little differences can add together to make a really phenomenal thing."

'We've planted about 250,000 natives so far, which is really awesome. And we're still planting and still trying to do more.'
