Palladium boots started making boots in 1947, creating the original French Foreign Legion style. In fact, they’ve been worn by commandos world wide over the past half century. Now, they are introducing MultiCam models featuring the original pattern in addition to Arid, Tropical and Black. While these are the low tops, there will also be higher versions.
A collaborative effort between Palladium Boots and London-based fashion label Maharishi has led to the creation of the Maharishi Tactical boot. The Maharishi Tactical features an upper constructed from rubberized full grain leather and 2520 denier ballistic nylon. The side, collar and heel panels are made of Schoeller Dynatec, a specialty textile that consists of reflective threads and tiny reflective glass beads. This material reflects light and is visible up to 100 meters away. The boot also features a Dri-Lex moisture wicking lining for breathability and sweat control, a thick PU material sockliner, and a padded collar with red Maharishi branding on the inside. A nice boot all around, but does anyone else see a double-edged sword in that reflective material?
