Keep it long, treasure it long.

Fantastic colour usage

KARHU's most popular shoe from 1996 has been reborn as a 2.0 version after 20 years. Fusion 2.0 KH804175 is a collection inspired by fantastic constellations and the night sky.

The midsole is equipped with an inverted triangle part "FULCRUM". It is a function that uses the principle of leverage to lift even heavy objects with little force, and KARHU's unique technology converts the energy from landing to forward into propulsion, reducing the impact on the feet and achieving smooth foot movement.

Excellent functionality unique to a sports shoe manufacturer

The reason why top athletes all love KARHU is its high technical capabilities. Since the 1920s, KARHU has made its brand name known at the Olympics, but their shoes, which are also pioneers in sneaker technology, have excellent functions that only a brand that has continued to make sports shoes can offer.

The Fusion 2.0 has an improved fit by linking the M line, which is KARHU's trademark, with the shoelaces. The upper is a carefully crafted series that uses different fabrics such as suede and mesh for each part, and the exquisite color scheme colors your feet. When you put them on, the thick cushion moves flexibly and provides a comfortable hold. Although they are originally lightweight shoes, the high fit makes them feel lighter than their actual weight.

In addition, all KARHU sneakers are attractive for their high design that never fades. The Fusion 2.0 KH804175 has a unique color scheme that combines light green, orange, and blue, giving it a Nordic design feel. Not only as a fashion sneaker, but also for those who have a lot of standing work or have many opportunities to walk when going out, you can feel the ease of matching and comfort of KARHU. It is a sneaker that can be worn for everyday outings while having authentic functions that can be used for sports, so it is a shoe that people who do not exercise much on a daily basis will be glad to have a pair of when they suddenly come into contact with exercise.

KARHU Philosophy and Ideas

Since its founding, KARHU has valued the spirit of "SISU," which means the tenacity that exists within Finnish people, the strength and courage to keep fighting even when you feel like giving up, and the strength of will and determination. Based on this SISU philosophy, they create products that do not compromise on functionality or design.

In addition, KARHU's brand concept includes the words "FUN LIFE, FUN RUN."
This is based on their idea that while running longer and faster is one way to enjoy running, life itself would be richer if you could simply run through the city and nature, stop freely from time to time, and make new discoveries there. Their philosophy and ideas are the driving force behind their continued production of original shoes.

Innovative Footwear

The sports shoe brand "KARHU" was founded in 1916 in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It started out as a small woodworking workshop that produced ski boards and javelin for athletics.

At that time, there were only shoes for competitions, and there were not many types of running shoes suitable for daily training, so athletes wanted shoes to use for warming up and cooling down, but KARHU was one of the first to develop shoes that met that need. They released shoes with highly functional padding and arch support to protect the feet. At the 1952 Olympics, the Finnish national team performed well wearing KARHU shoes, and top athletes began to use KARHU shoes. In this way, they established their position as a leading manufacturer of athletic shoes and became a national brand, and now they have a wide range of products, from athletic shoes to sneakers for town use.

Boasting a history of over 100 years since its founding, KARHU utilizes functionality created using traditional techniques to develop innovative footwear every day, with the desire to allow people to experience the "joy of running."
