Karhu Trampas Friendship White Red Japan,

Karhu developed the Trampas model in the mid-1960s, where running shoes were limited and “training” shoes did not exist. Athletes of athletes required a shoe with which to lightly do their daily training runs, so Karhu brought the Trampas with a lot of new features for that time, including the arch support and heel padding in the heel. protect the Achilles tendon. The Trampas have become the standard shoe for Finnish Olympic athletes and 20 American colleges among distance running powers such as the University of Oregon, BYU and Minnesota.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Finns were among the few foreign athletes to travel and take part in the Fukuoka Marathon. This was the beginning of a long lasting friendship between Finland and Japan which is now celebrated in the “Friendship” package, perfectly in time for the Tokyo Olympics.

The Japanese version features a white embossed leather upper and red M logo, as well as an embossed Karhu logo that was originally featured on the OG model.
