The Mestari Control is the newest silhouette in the KARHU collection and our latest model to feature a robust, slip-resistant outsole. Inspired by several prototypes from KARHU's back catalogues, the Mestari Control utilizes a novel traction pattern from an early 80s version of the Albatross. Our design team has reimagined this unique outsole to create a sturdier version of the Mestari with more grip for day-to-day use. Additionally, the upper of the Mestari Control features detailed tooling inspired by an older silhouette, the KARHU Balance. Specifications - Suede/synthetic upper and rubber outsole.

Back in the 1970s, Argentinian tennis player Guillermo Vilas smashed through winning streaks. On the court he dominated any surface and serve sent his way. Off the court, he was equally renowned for his confidence and charisma. In the '80s we created his signature shoe, the GV Special, which pays tribute to its namesake with a court-meets-street aesthetic that is iconic to this day. Its silhouette features perforated detailing for breathability, plus a chunky sole. Today, the GV Special has been upgraded with new colorways and maximized comfort.
