The Mestari Control is a nod to one of the most famous shoes in KARHU’s history, which came to be known for its patented Air Cushion technology. This modern take on a classic features that very same Air Cushion unit embedded in a robust midsole built for comfort and stability, newly updated with a bigger blown-out sole unit to be inline with the contemporary style of Universal Works, a design change that UW Co-Founder David Keyte felt strongly about. This was the moment that the Mestari Control was born - the first time this new style will be available to the public.
Universal Works have shaken up the narrative by bringing an upside-down, inverted illumination of what it means to combine activewear with traditional shapes and silhouettes. The iconic Karhu M-logo has been used throughout but flipped to give a nod to the ‘W’ in Universal Works. Its origins stem from the word ‘Mestari’ - the Finnish word for ‘champion’. Feeling like a winner in the clothes and shoes we’re wearing is never a bad thing.
