About Rakd

About Us

Running shoes designed around the runner since 1978.

How every pair is made

  1. Research

    We study thousands of runners' strides to learn where a shoe needs support and where it can shed weight.

  2. Idea & Concept

    Designers sketch and 3D-print early concepts, testing new foams and knit patterns.

  3. Design & Production

    Each pair is knitted, moulded and finished in partner factories with strict quality checks.

  4. Sales & Support

    Free shipping, easy size exchanges and a team ready to help you find your fit.

History

From a small workshop to runners everywhere

We started in 1978 making track spikes by hand for a local running club. Four decades later we still design every shoe around the runner, testing each new model with our own club before it reaches the shop.

Speed

Light foams and snappy soles for faster runs.

Quality

Durable materials, tested over hundreds of kilometres.

Comfort

Breathable uppers and cushioning that lasts all day.

Run club

Run with us on Friday mornings

Every Friday at 6:30 we run 5 or 10 km along the Gulf Road from Sharq. Everyone is welcome, and you can test any Air Pro before you buy it.
