Karhu Legacy

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 ”.

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 designprovided a comfortable ride. 

Today, the Legacy 96 pays homage to past endeavours not forgotten while looking for future adventures.

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.

The panel design stays true to the initial construction along with softly threaded, shiny mesh for breathability.
