But alas, both suggestions would be wrong—it really <i>is</i> Kylie Jenner that owns the infamous <a href="https://stylecaster.com/kylie-jenner-tie-dye-birkin/">MSCHF Birkin Birkenstocks</a>.</p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p>ICYMI, these aren’t just any old Birkenstocks. In fact, they aren’t even made by the Birkenstock company! The shoes were created by MSCHF out of the cork-and-rubber soles of actual Birks, and the tops of said sandals were fashioned from actual Hermès Birkin handbags. Yes, you read that correctly. MSCHF cut up Birkin handbags—which can cost <a href="https://stylecaster.com/feature/birkin-bag-price-1157472/">anywhere from $12,000 to $200,000</a> when purchased directly from Hermès—and Frankenstein’d some sandals now being hailed as “Birkinstocks.” See what they did there? One vowel change and the sneakers went from campground-friendly to campy couture.</p><p>The Birkinstocks have been making headlines for the past few days, and although they aren’t officially endorsed by Hermès <i>or</i> Birkenstocks, they’re growing a celebrity fanbase. Rapper Future <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCiUYrgOS9/">posted a photo wearing them</a> on Instagram, and our favorite Jenner (next to Stormi, of course) just posted her very own pair on Instagram Stories. Of course, it’s important to note that Kylie most likely didn’t <i>buy</i> them; they appear to have been gifted by the brand. She posted the sandals with a simple “thanks @mschf” and a few heart emojis, which is a passionate endorsement in Jenner world.</p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1CsKyy_0YdDzTWR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1CsKyy_0YdDzTWR00" width="376" height="670" ><figcaption>Courtesy of Kylie Jenner/Instagram.</figcaption></figure><p>While Future was rocking the red crocodile pair, Jenner’s gifted Birkinstocks are a black taurilllon clemence leather with gold hardware. According to a story in <i>The New York Times</i>, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/08/style/MSCHF-birkenstocks-birkin-bags-hermes.html">MSCHF created the Birkinstocks</a> from four different Birkin bags purchased secondhand, and the very-limited sandals are priced based on sizing, since this correlates to how much of the pricy handbag needs to be used per pair. The smallest size available costs $36,000 and the largest size costs $76,000. Now would be a <i>great</i> time to have small feet and a big savings account, am I right?</p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><blockquote style=" background:#FFF;

Mountain View, CA

If you’d told me Kylie Jenner owned a pair of Birkenstocks about a week ago, I would’ve assumed you were confusing her with another Kar-Jenner. “Are you sure you don’t mean Kourtney?” I might’ve suggested, seeing as the shoes are kind of trendy in a Poosh way. “Or Kendall?” Certainly, Kenny’s irritating I’m-not-like-the-other-girls energy could prompt her to throw on fugly sandals while her sisters opt for strappy heels. But alas, both suggestions would be wrong—it really is Kylie Jenner that owns the infamous MSCHF Birkin Birkenstocks.
