During the 1960s and 70s, KARHU pioneered the incorporation of several new synthetic materials and technologies—including nylon and air cushioning—into their running collection. The development of Air Cushion began in the early 70s which led to an official patent being filed in 1976. Then, in 1977, Air Cushion was introduced to the world with a shoe called the Champion. The Champion would go on to become a bestseller for KARHU, selling over 1,000,000 units worldwide at that time, and was eventually renamed the Mestari in honor of their reputation as mestarin jalkinee, “the shoe of champions”. Mestari, the Finnish word for “champion”, is a representation of their success on the feet of Finland’s legendary Flying Finns in international competition.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn launching the Mestari OG, KARHU has recruited the talents of three well-known OGs from our home city of Helsinki.

EGS is an iconic Finnish artist known for his diverse and dynamic repertoire that has evolved from graffiti to sculpture and blown glass over the years. Rising talent and future OG, Grande Mahogany, rounds out the trio with his talents as a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer.
