Karhu’s history is filled with legends: the legend about the brand selling their three striped logo to Adidas for a few bucks and two bottles of whisky, the legend about Karhu being the first sportswear label to develop air cushioned midsoles in their sneakers, and of course the Finnish running legend Paavo Nurmi and his five gold medals in Paris Olympics in 1924 – ran with Karhu sneakers. These and all the other twists and turns among the saga of Karhu make us recognize the brand for what it is – a Finnish legend.
