MESTARI CROSS COUNTRY SKI SHOE INSPIRATION

KARHU and Engineered Garments reunite for

their second collaboration following the SS25

Mestari Family & Friends release that was made

exclusively for the staff of the Nepenthes Store.

Drawing from KARHU’s rich archive, Engineered

Garments founder, Daiki Suzuki, seamlessly

merges the iconic Mestari running shoe with

KARHU’s cross-country skiing shoe, the Sprint, in an

eye-catching and asymmetric design. This partnership

offers a bold reinterpretation of KARHU’s heritage,

blending past and present with Engineered Garment’s

signature craftsmanship.
