Serious runners and running shoe enthusiasts are already well acquainted with Karhu, but for the uninitiated, Finland’s flagship sneaker manufacturer is a legendary name in the world of athletics that as been racking up Olympic medals since 1920. That means a history in athletic footwear that predates the concept of recreational running and specialized training footwear. How’s that for pedigree?

Living up to its adventurous history, the Karhu Fusion XC is the type of sneaker you want to go ‘cross-country’ in. From the ground up the flat outsole supports a wavy midsole that is as much about cushioning and support as it is about providing a flattering side profile. The HydroGuard® upper provides a breathable, waterproof membrane to protect your feet from the elements, and overheating. And with an earthy colorway, they’ll conjure the great outdoors wherever they go.
