Arahi 8
Arahi 8 is a daily stability road shoe that replaces Arahi 7’s firmer J-Frame with enhanced H-Frame support integrated into softer dual-density CMEVA. A new last and lower-profile shape refine fit, while double jacquard mesh and a podular super-abrasion rubber outsole balance support, flexibility, and durability. It is designed for everyday running and walking, guiding overpronation without overcorrecting the gait.
