Originally released two decades ago as a performance trainer, Karhu’s Aria returns this season in a “Birch & Juniper” pack that celebrates its Finnish heritage. The two spring colorways take their inspiration from Finnish birch and juniper trees — koivu and kataja, respectively — with a medley of earth tones over premium pigskin suede uppers. Symbolizing new beginnings, the “Birch” rendition features light brown, tan and soft grey hues with blue and yellow accents, while the “Juniper” version comes dressed in a combination of blue, orange, green and tan. Both colorways are finished with 3M reflective hits for added utility, as well as the silhouette’s signature Fulcrum midsole and mono tongue for unparalleled comfort. Look for the forest-inspired Karhu Aria “Birch & Juniper” pack now at select retailers like Hanon.
