Hoka Arahi 9
The Arahi 9 continues Hoka's J-Frame approach to stability, pairing a supportive medial frame with the brand's tall, rockered cushioning. It is aimed at overpronators who want daily-mileage support that still feels like a modern cushioned trainer. Changes over the Arahi 8 are incremental, centered on the upper and fit.
