The Fusion XC WP in Smoke Pine/Dark Forest by Karhu is inspired by several shoes from the brand’s history. This new Fusion features a taped M-logo reminiscent of the 1996 Fusion AP. The outsole utilizes an updated version of Karhu’s signature T-profile lug pattern that was used on many Karhu shoes from the previous century. In addition to that, the Fusion XC is equipped with the same modern Fulcrum technology found in every current model from their running collection. The Fulcrum reduces pressure on the heel and uses the body’s natural energy to create a smooth, guided ride. The Fusion XC also features a plush Air Cushion midsole, a Karhu innovation from the 70s that has since been adopted by other industry giants. Further technical features include a toe bumper for added protection and a fully gusseted tongue to keep out dust and dirt. Finished off with a Hydroguard system that offers waterproof capabilities.
