Karhu Readies the Launch of Its All-New Ikoni Running Sneaker
Designed in collaboration with YMR Track Club.
Karhu has built on its recent Olympics-inspired release by teaming up with YMR Track Club for a limited and unique “Sun Run” collection.
Designed to celebrate a midnight running experience during Lapland’s endless light, the concise capsule comprises a sweatshirt, T-Shirt, and singlet for both men and women, all of which have been crafted in its neighbouring country of Sweden using sustainable methods and yarns.
No doubt the highlight of the collection, though, is the all-new Karhu Ikoni. A sneaker designed for running as well as being a high-cushioned everyday shoe, the Ikoni draws inspiration from the national colors of both Finland and Sweden — as well as the original event poster from the 1983 Sun Run race — boasting vibrant pops of white, yellow and blue.
The full “Sun Run” pack is set to launch on June 17 and will be available from both Karhu and YMR Track Club, as well as U.S.-based Fleet Feet.
