Finnish Running Heritage & Timeless Minimalism

The Karhu Legacy 96 sneaker in Tea / Jet Black is a refined reinterpretation of a milestone in Finnish running history. Originally introduced in 1996 as a technical runner, this model has long established itself as a staple in the global streetwear scene. The soft, organic green-beige shade "Tea" creates a subtle contrast with deep Jet Black, delivering an architectural aesthetic.
