If Kanye wears a brand it automatically becomes a hot brand, so a lot of people who had never heard of Karhu associate it with Ye. The reality? Karhu has been a dope performance and lifestyle brand. The Porvoo Pack consists of two different styles, but I went with this Mango version simply based on my love of the Fieg Salmon Toe feel to the shoe. I also really like the outsole and the color segmentation which is usually overlooked even by brands like New Balance who might go for a monotone outsole.
Details: KARHU “PORVOO PACK”- DEDICATING A CONNECTION TO ITS FINNISH HERITAGE, KARHU PLACES IMPORTANCE IN HIGHLIGHTING HISTORICAL NATIONAL LANDMARKS. IT’S FOR THIS REASON KARHU CHOSE TO TRAVEL TO PORVOO, FINLAND’S SECOND OLDEST CITY FOUNDED OVER 800 YEARS AGO. THE CITY SITS ALONG FINLAND’S SOUTHERN COAST WITH THE RIVER PORVOONJOKI FLOWING THROUGH THE MIDDLE. FOR CENTURIES, THE CITY HAS SERVED AS BOTH A HOME AND SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR NUMEROUS FINNISH ARTISTS.
