Military-Inspired Birkenstock Outdoor Sandals: Precise Design Enhancements for Optimal Functionality
In a groundbreaking collaboration, German footwear brand Birkenstock has teamed up with British streetwear label Maharishi to create the Mogami Terra Tech sandal. This partnership melds Birkenstock's signature comfortable footbed with Maharishi's military-inspired functional design, creating a sandal that is both comfortable and utilitarian.
Founded in 1774, Birkenstock has been perfecting its anatomical footbed for centuries. On the other hand, Maharishi, established in 1994, has reimagined military surplus into stylish, practical pieces. The brand has taken Birkenstock's Mogami Terra sandal, introduced last year, and added smart military-inspired upgrades without compromising on comfort or style.
The Mogami Terra Tech sandal's unique features include:
- Quick-release buckles inspired by the U.S. Army's M.A.L.I.C.E. gear for easy on/off and added durability
- A hybrid strap system that combines suede with nylon webbing for enhanced grip and adaptability
- Waterproofed polyurethane sole for all-weather use
- A detachable crossbody strap and carabiner system for easy carrying and stowing
The sandals come in military-themed earth tones, with five available colorways: black, olive green, sand, khaki, and chocolate. Additionally, a matching M.A.L.I.C.E. backpack, with 3D external pouches, hidden pockets, and an expandable design, will also be part of the collection.
The Maharishi x Birkenstock Mogami Terra Tech will be available in select stores worldwide and online starting May 30, 2023, with prices set at £250 (approximately $315 USD). This special edition collaborative sandal is a fusion of Birkenstock's comfort and outdoor heritage with Maharishi's tactical military design, offering both form and function for urban and outdoor wear.
- The unique style of the Mogami Terra Tech sandal is an amalgamation of Birkenstock's comfort and outdoor heritage with Maharishi's tactical military design, making it ideal for both urban and outdoor living.
- The partnership between German footwear brand Birkenstock and British streetwear label Maharishi has resulted in a collection that seamlessly blends fashion-and-beauty with home-and-garden aesthetics, extending beyond footwear to include gadgets and smart-home-devices.
- The Mogami Terra Tech sandal's design features include quick-release buckles inspired by military gear, hybrid straps for enhanced grip, a waterproof sole for all-weather use, and a detachable crossbody strap for easy carrying – reflecting the brand's commitment to combining style and practicality.
