THE KARHU LEGEND FW21 CAPSULE COLLECTION: 

INSPIRED BY THE CASUAL SPORTSWEAR CHARACTER OF COLLEGE APPAREL 

For FW21, Karhu LEGEND’s capsule collection finds similarities between Karhu’s rich athletic heritage and the comfortable, casual sportswear character of college apparel. 

The collection features T-shirts and sweatshirts in heavy cotton executions. The iconic “Team College” logo design gets a subtle colour update and is featured on 400 grams heavy hoodies. The 300 grams heavy M-symbol Raglan T-shirt, inspired by Karhu’s original Mestari “M-logo”, is updated in new colours. Another new item is the Sport Bear Logo Sweatshirt, which reinterprets the “Helsinki Sport” logo, one of Karhu’s many different bear designs. 

The stand-out piece of this Karhu apparel collection is the Uni Striped Sweatshirt, which is inspired by 80s college sportswear and features an engineered stripe pattern with an embroidered Karhu logo and wordmark on the front. Most of the styles are inspired by the comfortable, slightly oversized fit of the aforementioned 80s college apparel. Three different historical sock designs are added to the collection in new colour updates! 

Karhu added three pairs of sneakers featuring a colour palette that matches the apparel to complete this collection. A rich mix of materials including suede, grained leather, water-repellent nylon and different kinds of mesh fabrics are used on the Aria 95, Legacy 96, and Synchron Classic.
