Finnish brand Karhu introduces its new Speckled collection that spotlights two of the brand's Fusion 2.0 sneaker models. The capsule honors the application of EVA at the midsole foundation. The material is progressive and can be seen on running and lifestyle footwear models. It has a shock absorbing foam unit that is very soft, lightw3eight, and flexible.
The speckled detail can be seen on each show as well, contrasting against the pink or green base foundation in a white hue. The aesthetic brings the eyes right to the midsole foundation. The colorways are offered in either a Bright White and Pheasant or a Dawn Blue and Sparrow. The shoes are now available online at Karhu or at the Helsinki flagship pop up.
