Discover the KARHU Mestari Kesä High Risk Red / Orchid Pink as part of the special KARHU by zomer collection. The KARHU by zomer collaboration is a study in duality—where heritage meets experimentation, precision meets play, and two perspectives merge into one. The Mestari Kesä takes an archival KARHU silhouette and reinterprets it through zomer’s bold, expressive lens.
Its split-color design embodies this balance, a visual representation of contrast and coexistence. Through material, form, and color, this partnership challenges conventions while staying rooted in craftsmanship, proving that the best design happens in the space between opposites.
Crafted with premium materials, the KARHU by zomer Mestari Kesä combines heritage craftsmanship with expressive design. With the use of different types of leather, a perforated and stitched M-logo, debossed and printed branding, and a lace closure inspired by KARHU bowling shoes, the shoe is something truly unique. Our signature Air Cushion technology is integrated into the shoe for optimal comfort. Read on for the additional KARHU Mestari Kesä High Risk Red / Orchid Pink materials.

I signed up for text notifications thru UPS who Karhu uses for delivery. I did not receive a text from UPS on day of delivery. The shoes were placed in common area of my building and stolen shortly after delivery. But they do look like they would have been nice shoes to wear.

How would you describe the fit?:
Too small
Too big
Size purchased:7
Usual size worn:7
Finally replaced my Championair sneaker for Mestari 76 Aqua Gray/ Wax Yellow
As you can see my championair got quite the use out of them as seen on the shoe on the right. I have taken them on all my trips and are always so comfortable and keep me going. Proud to say they have taken me through Albania and Mexico and all the day trips in between. The Mestari's have the same fit and fit true to size for me. My foot is narrow and stayed with my regular sizing of 7 despite the reviews to go 1/2 size bigger. Glad I did.

Nice shoe with a few caveats.
I do like these shoes, but I would not size up again. They feel unisex and I am a woman so they are a bit roomy and I have tripped a few times. Otherwise, they look and feel really good.
