Legacy 96

The model was first introduced in 1996 as a running shoe. Legacy features Air Cushion technology, which aims to cushion the heel on impact. On the upper of the shoe we find suede, which is less prone to damage than nubuck.

Imagine a strategy based on a smooth motion forward. Add to that the love of design, success, and the confidence to choose your own path. Then you get Karhu. The brand started in 1916 with a sports shop in the center of Helsinki. You could buy spears, skis, discs and running shoes here. The shoes were famous for their lightness and flexibility. The name Karhu in Finnish means bear. The letter M on the side of the sneakers symbolizes the Finnish word Mestari, which means champion.
