No shoe marks the summer season more than a pair of sandals. And when it comes to sandals, no brand has left its mark more than Birkenstock. Known for their iconic sandal silhouettes, the brand is instantly recognizable and is considered a premium household name.  Since summer is just around the corner, Birkenstock couldn’t go without treating fans to another high-quality release, this time with the help of Maharishi. Maharishi and Birkenstock have gone hi-tech for this new collaboration, with a sandal inspired by the U.S. Army M.A.L.I.C.E. (Modified All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) system. Along with their rugged style, these advanced military-inspired sandals are ready to handle anything the summer season might throw at them. 

Take on the summer with the Maharishi x Birkenstock collection

With inspiration from the military, this new Mogami Terra Tech sandal features straps made with a combination of suede and nylon webbing with a quick-release buckle. Also included is a detachable crossbody strap and a double carabiner to easily carry the sandals during your travels. A molded polyurethane sole on the bottom gives Birkenstock’s traditional footbed an all-weather upgrade. Available with a tan or black footbed with olive green straps and an all-black version, this sandal has just about everything you need to travel this summer season. Along with the Magami Terra Tech sandal, Maharishi and Birkenstock are also debuting a collection of other high-quality finds like matching backpacks and socks. The collection is available via Maharishi and Birkenstock’s webstore, with the sandals retailing for $295.

There’s no doubt that Nike’s Air Max series is one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes. With plenty of iterations and remixes, the Air Max has become a staple product in the brand’s lineup. In their newest remix, Nike is teaming up with South Korean label WORKSOUT for a new design inspired by founders’ school uniforms and Korean culture. Along with some street style details, the new Air Max shoe is nothing like its previous iterations. Although we are used to seeing Air Max sneakers taking over the shelves, this latest release is far from an easy-to-get shoe. With a limited number of designs set to release, you’ll have to act fast if you want to don these special edition sneakers.

Mimicking some of the most iconic low-profile sneakers in the footwear world, like the Nike Moon shoe, the Sprinters collection has a unique design that counters the recent chunky shoe trends.
