Karhu Synchron Classic "Hockey Pack II" Shoes

The Karhu Synchron Classic Shoes feature premium materials and a heritage running style.

Karhu have been established since 1916, used by some of Finland's most legendary runners in the early days. Karhu shoes have won Olympic medals to Boston Marathons and everything in between.

The Synchron Classic features a new compression molded EVA midsole, which is current in most modern running shoes. The dual density construction remains true to the original version from the early 1980s. The upper materials have been improved to premium pigskin suede and leather from synthetic overlays, but the mesh appearance remains original to the era.

To modernize the silhouette, Karhu incorporates the Air Cushion technology, both visible and functional in the outsole. Most importantly, Karhu keeps the unique Synchron lacing construction, which served as a way to tighten the forefoot upon repeated use.

The Hockey Pack:

œNo other stick scores like it...�  
 
¦ That's what The Great One would claim about Karhu Titan hockey sticks as he won the holy grail in Hockey numerous times.  
  
Hockey plays an important part in Finnish life with over 300 rinks and thousands of frozen ponds across Finland. Hockey has also formed an essential part of Karhu's history; the brand produced Hockey equipment and sticks in the early days.  
   
The heydays of the Hockey division came when Antti-Jussi Tiitola, creator of the world's first fiberglass Hockey stick and founder of the œTITAN� brand, (also the inventor of footwear technologies such as Air Cushion, Fulcrum and Ortix) joined forces with Karhu. Tiitola and Karhu proved to be a golden duo, and the category became extremely successful.
