Finland is known for its beautiful nature, design and rich sporting history. Each season, Karhu produces concepts based on one of these three elements and for their next release they have looked at architectural design.
For example, architects such as Eliel Saarinen, Alvar Aalto and Lars Sonck gave the city of Helsinki a very distinctive character and talented architects continue to do so to this day. For the upcoming Karhu Fusion 2.0 Pack, Karhu was inspired by Helsinki's new network of metro stations. Various architects designed the 8 new stations on the route from central Helsinki to Espoo. One of Karhu's favorite stations is Matinkylä. Frost and summer clouds inspired the ceiling of the platform formed from several aluminum sheets painted in white tones.
Referring to the ceiling design, both Fusion 2.0s are made from different types of technical mesh with leather overlays. Together with the color palette of different shades of white and orange accents, this gives these two Fusion 2.0s a new look and feel!
The Karhu Fusion 2.0 “Metro” pack will be released on Friday, May 29, 2020 at SneakerBAAS.nl.
