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.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
