Footpatrol & Karhu Drop an Archival-Inspired Fusion 2.0 “Snowstar”

For its latest collaboration, Finnish sneaker and lifestyle brand Karhu has tapped retailer Footpatrol for an archival-inspired Fusion 2.0 “Snowstar”.

Digging deep into its history, the upcoming Footpatrol x Karhu Fusion 2.0 “Snowstar” takes design cues from the Karhu Snowstar, a 1980s running boot built for the winter that boasted a durable nylon upper with leather reinforcements and a Velcro shroud.

The reworked Footpatrol x Karhu Fusion 2.0 “Snowstar” turns the OG runner into a modernized, city-ready silhouette equipped with durable materials and repellant uppers. Boasting neutral tones of grey and beige, the collaborative pair is accented with bold red Karhu branding on the profiles and tongue tags, as well as Footpatrol branding on the medial. Rounding out the final design cues are the cream midsoles and black and red outsole.

Mark your calendars as the Footpatrol x Karhu Fusion 2.0 “Snowstar” releases on September 30 via Footpatrol.com for $165. A two-piece tracksuit will also release alongside the sneaker for $200.
