KARHU LEGACY 96

Karhu, founded in 1916, has been on the feet of Olympic winning athletes, and invented technologies like air cushion and fulcrum™, which is still used in the running shoe collection to this day. Influence in sport means you are long lasting, memorable, and measurable. In honour of this heritage, Karhu brings back a running shoe with a name that says it all, the “LEGACY ”.

LEGACY 

First introduced in 1996, the Legacy featured an Air Cushion landing zone, sandwich construction heel cap, and an EVA midsole to make a well-cushioned running shoe. Leaving no wish unfulfilled, the inherently stable design provided a comfortable ride. Today, the Legacy 96 pays homage to past endeavours not forgotten while looking for future adventures.

 90S INSPIRED 

The Legacy 96 “OG” features premium Italian leather in the original white and purple colourway. The other two Legacy 96 models are made of synthetic suede and great options for Karhu fans that prefer not to wear leather! The navy and orange colourway is 90s inspired, while the black and light blue colourway is for the Karhu fan that looks for a more subtle option.

  DESIGN 

The panel design stays true to the initial construction along with softly threaded, shiny mesh for breathability. The sublimated print on the footbed highlights the shoe’s Air Cushion heel, which gives added cushioning. The Legacy 96 “OG” is launched in a special box.

On Friday, September 20th, the Karhu “Legacy 96” Pack is globally available at select retailers, Karhu.com and the Karhu Concept store in Helsinki, Finland. Karhu encourages you to celebrate your own legacy by picking up the latest drop.
