maharishi works in collaboration with Mizuno to update its iconic Wave Rider 10 sneaker model that was originally launched back in 1997. The updated new version is made to match the maharishi design language with drab colors and base laters that is fused with an AIRmesh base as well as curvy Trusted Path program-certified suede materials all over the shoe.
The exteriors are detailed in green tones towards a darker hue as the quarter panels are accented with the classic Mizuno RubBird motif. Notably, it is designed with a phoenix on top that adds a tonal and textual contrast as it is done in a white hue. It is set to drop online and in-store locations beginning March 10th.
