No. 21 Puts Bourgeois Spin on Scholl’s Signature Wooden Clogs and Sandals

No. 21 is dropping a summer wardrobe essential, courtesy of a collaboration with Scholl, the shoe brand whose clogs started trending in the ’60s, when French actresses wore them to vacation on the French Riviera.

Designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua, known for his contemporary take on the bourgeois chic aesthetics, reinvented Scholl’s signature wooden-soled Pescura clog and sandal models, adding the Gringo kitten heel often seen in his footwear collection. The two feminine styles feature an oversized golden metallic buckle and studs and are available in cherry red and black.

The capsule collection drops in mid March on both brands’ online stores, as well as at No. 21 boutiques, in addition to select retailers globally. The shoes are priced between $300 for the sandals and $360 for the clogs.

The spring 2025 tie-up with No. 21 comes after Scholl’s recent collaborations with other designer brands, including the likes of Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, Khrisjoy, Y’s by Yohji Yamamoto, Ganni, Eres, Honey Dijon, Issimo and Re/Done. In recent years, Scholl has spearheaded a transformation and relaunch towards a fashion and lifestyle-leaning offering.

Founded and helmed by Dell’Acqua, No. 21 was established in 2010 and is distributed by the Italian Gilmar Group. It boasts five flagship stores in Tokyo; Milan; Hong Kong; Fukuoka, Japan, and Hangzhou, China.
