Karhu x norbit Fusion XC (Brushed Nickel / Brushed Nickel)

ATTENTION: The Karhu Fusion XC is fitting true to its size! So for example if you compare the shoe to a Fusion 2.0, we suggest you to go down at least half a US size!

For the current season, Karhu joined forces with Hiroshi Nozawa’s Japanese label norbit to design a special outdoor themed collection. Inspired by the concept of hiking, the exciting Karhu x norbit project includes an updated color and material construction of the Fusion XC, Karhu's functional all-weather footwear silhouette, along with a water-repellent shell and pants combo in two different colorways by norbit.

With the Fusion XC, Karhu pays tribute to the iconic Fusion silhouette. Back in 1996, the Karhu Fusion was rated the top runner of the brand's range, and to stage a comeback, Karhu worked with the shoe's original designer. The sole unit and upper measurements have been revamped to make the silhouette more appealing and updated with Fulcrum midsole technology, but to keep it as authentic as possible, the Karhu Fusion XC is equipped with lots of original details such as the Karhu tongue label and the rubberized collar print.
