Karhu Honour Cross-Training Heritage With All New Fusion XT

KARHU just introduced the newest addition to its lifestyle collection, the Fusion XT. Inspired by the KARHU XT from the mid 90s, the Fusion XT gets its namesake from “cross-training” roots. Back in the day, KARHU’s diverse line of product offerings expanded beyond running to feature a rich assortment of court shoes and accessories. The brand-new Fusion XT looks to honour this unique part of KARHU’s heritage.

Throughout the creative process, the KARHU design team consulted their back catalogues and was struck by several models from the 90s. The iconic M-logo and overlay side panels adorning the Fusion XT take design notes from the 1996 Fusion. For increased security and on-foot comfort, the specialized upper includes a heel stabilizer and fixed tongue. They’ve also taken inspiration from the 1993 KARHU Ultra and resurrected our unique Twin System Air Cushion for maximum comfort and all-day wear. True to its cross-training DNA, the Fusion XT prioritizes function and utilizes a full rubber outsole for better grip and traction.
