Birkenstock just released a new collection called Modern Suede that you'll want to cop. One of the three new designs included in the drop, Kyoto has an athletic design and suede upper that gives you an elevated and seamless silhouette to your everyday wear. Plus, it comes it a gorgeous pink hue (and a purple as well, if that's more to your liking) which makes it a comfortable shoe to wear when you watch the Barbie movie.
