Karhu X Engineered Garments
Karhu and Engineered Garments reunite for their third collaboration following FW25 Mestari Sprint, returning with a fresh reinterpretation of the Mestari 76 and Mestari Sprint trainers. This season introduces a slip-on concept inspired by KARHU’s cross-country ski heritage, reworking performance roots through Engineered Garments’ utilitarian design approach.
Blending technical sports lineage with understated craftsmanship, the Karhu x Engineered Garments trainers collection offers a stripped-back, functional take on classic silhouettes. Balancing heritage running design with everyday versatility, the collaboration delivers a refined approach to modern trainers rooted in sport and utility.
KARHU x Engineered Garments – Mestari Collection
A fusion of performance heritage and considered design
We’re genuinely buzzing to be the only UK stockist of the latest KARHU x Engineered Garments collaboration.
Reworking the iconic Mestari through the lens of Daiki Suzuki, this release blends KARHU’s running and cross-country skiing heritage into a bold, asymmetric design with a more muted, earth-toned palette. Premium materials like hairy suede, suede, and nylon sit alongside leather lining and supportive foam insoles, keeping comfort and quality at the core, while subtle collaborative detailing keeps things understated.
The result is a shoe that sits perfectly between sport and design-led menswear, typical of everything Engineered Garments does best.
Why we picked it:
Because it’s Engineered Garments. Simple as that. We’ve always prided ourselves on backing brands that take risks, push ideas forward, and do things properly and this collaboration is exactly that. It’s not safe, it’s not obvious, and that’s exactly why it’s in-store.
