6 Alternatives To Yeezy Sneakers You Can Actually Still Find Online
Kanye is cancelled. Here’s what to wear instead of his Yeezy sneakers.
Karhu
A Finnish sporting brand that started in 1916 (the word “Karhu” means “bear” in Finnish), the company has experienced a resurgence of sorts in recent years, thanks to celebrities like Kanye West being photographed out and about in the brand’s signature “fusion” running shoe.
Known for designing actual performance footwear (as opposed to brands that mainly do sneakers for style), Karhu’s shoes are divided into two categories: Running and Originals. The slightly chunkier silhouette looks like a cross between a hiking shoe and a 90s-era sneaker, while also playing into the “dad shoe” trend that’s so popular today.
If you’re looking for a pair of sneakers to add to your rotation, you really can’t go wrong with Karhu. They’ve been around for over 100 years, they’ve got a solid aesthetic and they’re sneakerhead-approved. If you didn’t know Karhu before, you do now.
