Karhu is currently focused on modern sneakers and activewear, and each " pair of Karhu sneakers features propelling Fulcrum technology and boasts the brand's signature "M," which represents mestari, the Finnish word for champion." The new Karhu Fusion 2.0 Sneakers are no exception and boast a rubber sole, tie closure, polyester insole and are comprised of suede, mesh, and polyester upper.
