This season, KARHU is excited to introduce the second collaboration with Engineered Garments. The two brands reunite for the brand-new KARHU x Engineered Garments Mestari Sprint in Classic Blue / Jaffa Orange. Drawing from KARHU’s rich archive, the shoe seamlessly merges the iconic Mestari running shoe with KARHU’s cross-country skiing shoe, the Sprint, in an eye-catching and asymmetric design. This partnership offers a bold reinterpretation of KARHU’s heritage, blending past and present with Engineered Garment’s signature craftsmanship.
Founded in New York in 1999, Engineered Garments aims to make garments that become more than personal through the experiences you have with them. They venture into conflicting themes, straying from “perfect design.” They are not designed but engineered. The KARHU x Engineered Garments Mestari features a high energy aesthetic that brings together the three most iconic colourways from the silhouette’s history, creating a unique tri-colour design that differs from left shoe to right.
The KARHU Mestari: a timeless classic that established itself more than forty years ago. By bringing it back with modern updates and an improved silhouette, the iconic sneaker remains a favourite amongst sneaker fans.
The KARHU x Engineered Garments Mestari features a high-energy aesthetic that brings together the three most iconic colourways from the silhouette’s history, creating a unique tri-colour design that differs from left shoe to right. Both sides utilize suede overlays with nylon and suede underlays. Each shoe in the pair has a leather lining, flat laces and one extra set of laces, collaborative branding on the tongue and footbed, and a special edition shoe box. To ensure comfort, the sneakers are built with a leather-topped foam footbed with arch support and Air Cushion technology.
