Our favorite Finnish sneaker brand brings a classic into the modern era
Dusted-off, polished-up, and ready to hit the streets, Karhu plucked the Fusion 2.0's from the archives to reintroduce them 20 years after their original debut back in 1996. They were originally the top-performing running shoe for Karhu, and these days they’re coming back as a style piece with incredible comfort and just the right amount of performance. Still built with the same unique Finnish flare we’ve come to love from the Karhu throwbacks, these sneakers add superior comfort and fresh style to your footwear arsenal.
- Heritage Karhu design recreated for a vintage look
- Uppers built from a hardy, breathable mix of suede leather and mesh
- Super comfortable thanks to the thick layer of cushion in the midsole
- Treaded rubber outsole for excellent traction
- Thick rope laces with a stitched-in pattern
- Heel tabs for easy on and off
- Upper: Leather and mesh
- Midsole: Custom Karhu cushion
- Outsole: Treaded rubber
- Made in China
- We recommend sizing up a half size compared to your regular sneaker size
- For the absolute best personal fit, use the chart below - just add an extra ¼ inch to the measurement of your foot

If you’ve never heard of the “Flying Finn” a quick Google search will land you on the name Paavo Nurmi, the most decorated track athlete in world history. He’s won more Olympic medals than Usain Bolt, setting 22 world records—and he did it all in a pair of Karhus. Meet Finland’s most legendary trainers. These guys have outfitted Finnish athletes for over a century and led the way in running shoe innovation with technologies (like air cushions) that we still see today.
