Rejoice, we are victorious! Pheidippides shouted after running the 25 miles from the battlefield in Marathon to Athens to announce that the heavily outnumbered Athenian army defeated the Persians. What started as recalling the glory of ancient Greece, the marathon has become running’s most famous race, even though the distance is now much, much longer. To highlight the unique history of the famed Grecian event, Finnish brand Karhu (also a nation with a rich history in running) present a brand-new “Marathon Pack” that celebrates the bipedal connection between the two nations.
Their three-piece Marathon Pack consists of everybody’s favorite Fusion 2.0, and two Legacy 96s in sporty color-blocked options. The bright white leather uppers are combined with soft mesh and dyed suede panels at the toe and heel. The Fusion utilizes a rich blue, offset by soft pastel pink pops and striking black accents, while the Legacy 96s both arrive with blue and white collars paired with red and gold suede pops respectively. All three silhouettes are partnered with classic white midsoles and black sole the replicates vintage athletic performance footwear.
