A textured rubber outsole with aggressive multi-directional lugs ensures superior traction on uneven terrain. The heel counter displays 'GEL-KAHANA 8' branding and 'SpEVA' midsole technology label—indicating lightweight, resilient foam for long-run comfort. Ideal for trail runners seeking durability without sacrificing cushioning, this model balances retro-inspired aesthetics with modern technical features.
