What looks like a tennis shoe or a casual athletic model for today began as a running shoe for Karhu back in the 60’s. Which raises a question, who influenced who? We know the Onitsuka Tiger 66 featured a similar design and Nike took the 66 and developed the Cortez, but to discover the Trampas raises an interesting question about trainers that is ripe for discussion. While you prepare your thoughts for debating which model arrived first, here are some pics of the SS21 Trampas from Karhu.

The Trampas was presented in two variants; an athletic performance edition which featured the iconic M-logo, and an alternative version which utilised a form stripe for support and a deluxe leather lining that offered superior levels of comfort. It was this alternative version that cemented the Trampas’s status as a shoe that could be worn casually as part of everyday attire.
