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.
