Finnish label Karhu has followed up its monochrome “LEGEND” pack with the introduction of the all-new “Speckled” collection. Featuring two takes on the footwear brand’s Fusion 2.0 silhouette, the collection celebrates the use of EVA on the midsole.The innovative material is regularly used on running and lifestyle sneakers, and consists of a shock-absorbing foam that is soft, light and flexible. Highlighting this detail, Karhu has added a speckled effect to the EVA midsole of each shoe, contrasting white flecks against either the pink or green base.While the speckled aesthetic deliberately draws the eye to the midsole, the Fusion 2.0 has also been dressed in either a “Bright White/Pheasant” colorway or the Dawn “Blue/Sparrow” design. Take a look at both colorways in the gallery above, and expect them to arrive at Karhu’s web store, Helsinki flagship and Verona pop-up on March 26.In other footwear news KEEN has presented a new collection with Engineered Garments.

Fresh off the release — and instantaneous sellout — of his adidas Forum Low Buckle “The First Cafe,” reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny has begun teasing his second Forum Low Buckle collaboration with the Three Stripes. Discarding the coffee-inspired brown tones of his inaugural sneaker in favor of vibrant pink shades, Bunny’s subsequent effort with adidas Originals shows his fun-loving personality, and, if some of the photos he posted to his Instagram are any indication, may be floral-inspired. The new style combines several shades of pink, ranging from light pastels to richer, more vivid hues and even some with a slight orangish tint. These are spread across a leather and suede upper that boasts familiar details like a bold ankle strap, Bunny’s “El Ojo” graphic on the tongue and a forefoot bumper. Soles are done up in an icy popsicle pink and outsoles complete the look with peachy tones.In the past, Bad Bunny has teased both white and black colorways of his Forum collaboration, the latter of which was seen during his appearances at WWE events. As he’s currently the WWE’s 24/7 champion and set to face The Miz at WrestleMania 2021 on April 10, it’s not out of the question to think his pink-tinted Forum could release around then with a price of $160 USD — though a date of arrival or MSRP has yet to be officially confirmed by adidas.
