The Mestari Control is one of the newest silhouettes in the KARHU collection and our latest model to feature a robust, slip-resistant outsole. Inspired by several prototypes from KARHU’s back catalogues, this model combines classic design elements with modern functionality. The Mestari Control utilizes a novel traction pattern found on an early 80s version of the Albatross. Our design team has reimagined this unique outsole to create a sturdier version of the Mestari with more grip for day-to-day use. Additionally, the upper of the Mestari Control features detailed tooling inspired by an older silhouette, the KARHU Balance.
Materials:
- Hairy suede and leather overlays
- Two tone nylon underlays
- Reflective M-logo
- Rope laces
- Foam footbed with arch support
- Speckled midsole
- Karhu branded non-slip rubber outsole
- Air Cushion
