Finnish sneaker label Karhu has gathered a lot of attention as Kanye West's favorite footwear brand. Karhu now returns with the brand-new Fusion 2.0 Summer pack, full of all new offerings for the Spring/Summer 2018 season. The upcoming footwear series is comprised of three iterations of the sneaker model -- with new colorways. There are the tonal options of either 'Blue Coral and Boa,' 'Deep Cobalt and Black,' and 'Boa and Deep Cobalt.'
Every sneaker model is accented with a simplistic splash of color adorning the toe cap and heel area, constructed with suede panels. The M-logo lace system construction also delivers a tonal contrast amidst the sleek midsole finished in white. The Karhu Fusion 2.0 Summer pack iterations will be available at the label's concept store in Helsinki, online, and select retailers as of April 14th.
