# Militaristic-Themed Sneaker Updates maharishi Adds a Design Update to Reebok's Classic Legacy AZ By Amy Duong | Published 2022-06-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-legacy-az References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/6/maharishi-reebok-classic-legacy-az-subdued-release-details) & [maharishistore](https://www.maharishistore.com/) London-based fashion imprint maharishi works in collaboration with [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering) on a new iteration of the Classic Legacy AZ sneaker model for the season. It is made with utilitarian and militaristic themes, inspired by experimental flight suits and flight jackets. The sneaker has a signature nylon construction that is inspired by the classic [MA-1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-alpha-industries) flight jacket and it can be seen on the sneaker by the contrasting MIL-SPEC ripstop panels. The sneaker itself has a black and olive green tonal palette that nods to the patchwork seen on uniforms before it is paneled with 3M details for a reflective visual. It sits on top of Reebok's notable gum sole unit -- this is set to launch on June 10th.
