Originally found in 1916 in downtown Helsinki, KARHU began by crafting locally sourced birch into skis, javelins and discuses, and started to develop running shoes.

Providing technical running and outdoor gear for 100 years, with an authentic heritage in athletics and a deep connection to the outdoors, KARHU follows the Finnish principles of design simplicity and running purity.

KARHU kicks off their AW22 collection with the outdoor-themed release of the 'Orienteering Pack'

This special collection features silhouettes dressed in tones inspired by the sport of orienteering. Many of the colours utilised in the assortment are commonplace in the landscapes, maps, markers, and tools that make up this unique adventure-rich activity.

The KARHU Orienteering Pack is a nod to the brand’s history in adventure sport. Throughout the twentieth century, KARHU crafted premium orienteering spikes designed for competition. Their latest collection celebrates this outdoor heritage. Each pair comes in its own special-edition box featuring the colourful KARHU Orienteering seal that denotes a compass rose.

KARHU continues their season of outdoor-themed releases with the launch of the 'Trees of Finland Pack'

This all-new collection includes classic KARHU silhouettes presented in earth tones and natural hues. Each unique colourway is inspired by the Finnish forest and completely at home among the massive expanse of pine, spruce, and birch that covers the nation’s rich and vibrant landscape.

The KARHU Trees of Finland Pack proudly celebrates the importance of these expansive woodlands both to the country and to KARHU. Early on its history, KARHU crafted quality skis, javelins, and discuses from locally sourced, renewable spruce and birch. The latest release from KARHU pays homage to Finland’s finest natural resource. Each pair comes with its own special-edition box that prominently feature several native tree species found in Finland.
