Posted on 2022-01-03

Marking its first release of 2022, Finnish label Karhu is taking us on a journey of relaxation and mindfulness with its “Shinrin Yoku” footwear capsule.

Shinrin Yoku — also known as forest bathing — is the Japanese practice of spending time in nature for the purpose of meditation or healing. Disconnecting from the busy world and being present allows both the mind and body to experience what the environment has to offer through each of the five senses.
