Karhu x Universal Works Mestari Control (Navy Blazer / Fennel Seed)

ATTENTION: Karhu sizes turn out to be 1/2 a size smaller than tagged, so please take 1/2 size larger than your regular size!

As part of the Future Friendship Project, Karhu and Universal Works have teamed up for a mini collection to give classic sportswear silhouettes a modern fashion twist. In doing so, they managed to incorporate accents and shapes from both parties in a rather subtle way, thereby meeting their own demands.

Between his introduction in 1977 and 1984, the Mestari has been a mainstay of the Karhu range, thanks to the eye-catching design with some colorful spots and Karhu's patented air cushioning that inspired some major players. After being missing in action for many years, the Karhu Mestari recently staged a comeback as a heavyweight in the pool of the most wanted retro kicks.
