The Karhu Legacy 96 brings a running design from the Finnish brand's 1996 archive into everyday use. Its layered upper, rounded proportions and visible panel work give it a clear connection to that period. It is a considered choice when you want a sneaker with some substance underfoot and a design that works with the clothes you already wear. The Avocado / Chocolate Torte colourway brings green and brown tones into the layered design.

Suede overlays and textile mesh create a mix of texture and structure across the upper. The suede gives the panels depth, while the mesh introduces a lighter visual contrast. A padded collar and tongue frame the foot, and the laces let you adjust the hold across the instep. The silhouette remains recognisable from the side, with the layers doing much of the design work.

Air Cushion technology and an EVA midsole form the cushioning construction, finished with a rubber outsole. These features come from Karhu's running heritage and sit within a shoe intended for daily outfits and city use. The Legacy 96 is particularly easy to pair with straight denim, relaxed trousers or simple shorts, leaving its colour and material combination visible without needing an elaborate outfit.

Check the fit with the socks you normally wear and try both shoes, as feet can differ slightly. There should be space for your toes to move, with the heel held comfortably when you walk. The laces can fine tune the hold across the instep, but they should not compensate for a shoe that is too short or too narrow.

Use the available size options as a starting point and compare them with a pair you already find comfortable. Walk a few steps indoors on a clean surface and notice where the upper touches your foot. Allow room for your preferred socks, especially if you plan to wear a thicker pair in colder months. A comfortable fit matters more than choosing by the size label alone.

Care for the different surfaces separately. Remove dry dust and loose dirt with a soft brush before using a suitable cleaner. Work gently around the panels and avoid soaking the shoe. Let it dry naturally away from direct heat, with the laces loosened so air can circulate. Always check the care instructions before applying a treatment to a visible area.

Between wears, give the shoes time to air and keep them in a dry place. Small, regular cleaning steps help maintain the contrast between the panels and the colour combination that defines this version.
