maharishi x adidas Five-Two 3 Stan Smith

22 07 2009

maharishi-adidas-five-two-3-stan-smith-1

In line with maharishi’s strong ‘decommissioned’ army influences, drawing attention to the beauty of camo patterns and clothing design and negating the military associations, the light blue canvas upper of this Stan Smith makeup draws inspiration from a less obvious piece of regulation apparel – naval chambray shirting circa WWII.

Contrasting white stitching continues the theme, while a red top eyelet, metal eyelets reinforcing the trademark ‘3-Stripes’ of perforation make for subtle but effective detailing. The brand’s signature dragon motif is embroidered on the tongue, with a maharishi logo applied on the heel and a special ‘XV mahadidas’ sockliner to complete a unique meeting-of-minds

Determined not to repeat the tragedy during the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich, where a botched rescue attempt resulted in the death of all hostages, Israeli Olympic athletes kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists.  West German officials established the GSG9 (Grenzschutzgruppe 9), an elite counter-terrorism unit of the German Federal Police.

As supplemental equipment to their arduous training regiment, adidas created the BW Army Mid, sneakers that integrated elements of the combat boots, such as padded interior linings, the absence of perforation or vents, and the lack of branding. Yet still retained sneakers comfortability with flexible rubber outsole and premium leather.
