ALBATROSS ELITE PACK

Karhu invented the first Air Cushion midsole back in the 1970s. It captured runners' attention and was copied by many notable athletic companies. One of the most iconic Air Cushion models was the Albatross, a lightweight trainer that appealed to both men and women.

Lifestyle, Release

In 2016, Karhu presents the Albatross-Elite as a more premium and detailed version of the classic. The Albatross-Elite features added depth on the upper with underlays of the M-logo, a padded tongue for increased comfort and a mix of materials including canvas on select colors. The midsole incorporates an extra EVA insert at the heel and adds flex grooves, a traditional 80s technology, to the forefoot for more comfort.

 This new addition to the Albatross family remains true to the construction of the original shape and measurements of its predecessor. The Albatross-Elite and Albatross come in a multitude of colors and will be available at select retailers worldwide.
