Score Barbie's Pink Birkenstocks Before They Sell Out

The release of "Barbie" on July 21, 2023 continues to paint the world pink. In the movie, Barbie is faced with the choice between staying in Barbie Land and remaining naive to the issues outside her door or embracing the unpleasantness of knowing the truth by heading out into the real world. The former is represented by a classic pink pump, the latter by none other than the ultra-practical, no-frills Birkenstock Arizona sandal.

Despite her initial resistance, Barbie and her newly flat feet head into the real world, and by the end of the film, she has embraced the Birks. This time, however, her Arizonas are — of course — pink. Interest in pink Birkenstocks has since exploded accordingly, as evidenced by countless tweets like the one from Rochelle Knibb, marveling, "Who orders pink #Birkenstocks just because they saw them in the #Barbie movie? Me, apparently."

If you're interested in snagging a pair before they sell out, now is the time. We have the scoop on which pink Birks are featured in the film, where you can buy them, and what other products the brand sells that fit the Barbie palette. 

Barbie's pink Birkenstocks

At the end of the "Barbie" movie, Margot Robbie as Barbie sports a pair of Birks in a dusty light pink hue that perfectly ties together her bubbly, hyper-feminine nature and her new role as a real-world woman. The exact pair worn by Robbie in the film appears to be the Big Buckle version of the classic Arizona sandal with a nubuck leather upper in the color Old Rose.

Currently, the Big Buckle Arizona in Old Rose is still available directly from Birkenstock for $160. However, if you're dying to get your hands on a pair today and don't have a Birkenstock store near you, the brand is sold at a number of authorized retailers around the country. Depending on where you're located, you could take a look at your nearest DSW,  Dick's Sporting Goods, or Dillard's to make sure you can snag a pair while they're still available.

Additional pink Birkenstock options

Whether you're a little late to the game or just don't feel like Big Buckle Arizonas in Old Rose are quite the right pink Birks for you, the brand offers a plethora of other pink options that will still give you the Barbie vibes you're after. If you're looking to stay within the realm of two-strap sandals, you can score the Classic Arizona in Light Rose or Shimmering Fuchsia for $130, the Arizona Soft Footbed in Pink Clay for $140, or the Arizona Essentials (Birkenstock's EVA sandal) in Rose or Candy Pink for $49.95.

If you're a Barbie who beats to the sound of your own drum and prefers a less mainstream twist on the classic two-strap sandal, check out the studded, crisscrossed Franca Soft Footbed in Old Rose for $150 or the Kyoto slide in Candy Pink. If Birkenstock clogs are more your style, the popular Boston model is available in Candy Pink for $142, and the Buckley is available in a natural tone called Pink Clay. Basically, there's a pink Birk out there for every person and every occasion.
