For the final release of the fall, KARHU reimagines one of their most successful seasonal concepts from recent history with the updated Mount Saana pack.
This new spin on one of their most iconic collections to date sees the Fusion XC refreshed in three warm and inviting colourways representative of the autumn foliage that defines Saana’s landscape this time of year.
Originally launched in 2015 as a means to introduce the Fusion 2.0, the Mount Saana pack is an ode to the sacred fell of Saana in Northern Finland where every year thousands of trail and outdoor enthusiasts flock to experience all that this breath taking region has to offer.
The summit of Mount Saana rises just over a thousand meters above sea level and boasts the longest set of stairs in Finland making it a truly one-of-a-kind destination for adventurers.
The revival of the Mount Saana pack is comprised of the Fusion XC in three unique iterations identical in colourway and material execution to the original Fusion 2.0 launch from 2015.
Developed in the spirit of several shoes from Karhu’s back catalogues, the Fusion XC features a taped M-logo reminiscent of the 1996 Fusion AP. The outsole utilizes an updated version of their signature T-profile lug pattern that was used on many Karhu shoes from the previous century, including the iconic Synchron Classic.
In addition to these historic design nods, the Fusion XC is equipped with the same modern Fulcrum technology found in our running shoes and a plush Air Cushion midsole. Further technical features include a toe bumper, a fully gusseted tongue, and a waterproof HydroGuard® membrane.
