Hoka Arahi 7 Shadow / Dusk

Released on 18 January 2024 and part of the Arahi 7 line. This release has a knit upper in Shadow/Dusk. Shadow and Dusk is the quiet corner of the Arahi 7 range, two low light greys with a touch of blue in them, and it suits a shoe whose job is to be reliable rather than exciting. The Arahi is Hoka's support leaning daily trainer, built on the same premise that got the brand started in Annecy: an oversized cushioned outsole made so runners could attack descents. Where earlier Hoka colourways insisted on being noticed, this one wants to be worn every day. The exaggerated sidewall stack is still there in full, but toned down until the shape reads as architecture rather than as a colour statement.
