Anyone know the price point on these?

 

[krueger3737]

Everyone loves a sketch blurry photo but shows July 15th release for the stained glass shoes. 

 

[abovedahype]

Assuming price is gonna be similar to the merlots which were $115

completely different brand tho...

If i had to guess off the prices on their website probably around $135

 

[benoited]

As a reference Hanon is releasing a gr at $112

Digging the Karhus....anyone know anything about sizing on them?

 

[thejacobsharp]

I can see the Karhu becoming the next Diadora n9000. Love the shoe itself, color way is decent. May have to bite on them.

need to grab one of those light blue long sleeves 

They cancelled my blue long sleever order on Monday.   4 for 4 with shoes, 0 for 3 with apparel. 

 

[abovedahype]

Hoping under $130, taxes + shipping

Really? Karhu is an obscure running brand. Like, mainly trail runners know about it. Zero hype/brand recognition. These will be low-key.

These will be just like the Brooks Merlot from last year. They'll sell out, but if you want a pair you should be able to get them.

I agree they'll be low-key, but with future collabs potentially in the horizon we can assume, popularity may slowly increase. Same with Diadora (at least in the US) when their collabs first started dropping. The first few were easily attainable. 

You may be right though, Diadora has more name recognition outside of the runner collab world.

So in 5 months we can expect people to start saying they are OG Karhu heads like the diadora thread?

Me either so im just going to avoid it.

Also looks too similar to the glv with the sock liner thing its got going.

Colorway is nice but agreed, this is a pass, especially after the dope GLVs we just got.

I wouldn't call them an obscure running brand, they are extremely popular with marathon runners. Made in Finland as well retail is $140. Low key it definitely will be but I am ok with that. Karhu has been around for a long time, longer than most others, let's not call them obscure.
