Super Insoles Engineered for Everyday Use, Inspired by Super Shoes, Feature High-Energy Return PEBAX® Polymer Foam & Cutting-Edge Propulsive ARRIS® Carbon Fiber Plates BERKELEY, Calif., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS® Composites, the advanced materials and technology company behind breakthrough carbon fiber innovations across industries, announces the retail debut of its AURORRA By ARRIS™ Super Insoles, now available in-store at select SCHEELS locations. This marks the brand's first retail partnership announcement since its product reveal in late 2024 at the New York City Marathon. "We're proud to partner with SCHEELS—the leading Midwest retailer known for delivering excellence, quality, and a strong sense of community," said Riley Reese at ARRIS®, CEO and Co-Founder. "This collaboration brings our AURORRA by ARRIS Super Insoles to customers who trust SCHEELS to outfit their everyday adventures—empowering them to experience elite-level performance in every step." The AXA Super Insole represents a new era of performance gear designed for the everyday athlete in all of us. Inspired by the same materials trusted by long-distance runners, it brings advanced carbon fiber propulsion and high-energy return foam into the shoes you already wear—whether you're logging long hours on your feet, hitting the gym, or racking up daily steps. This is a pro-level performance made practical. Featuring ARRIS® carbon fiber plates paired with premium PEBAX® foam, this ultralight insole delivers up to 10x more energy return than premium foam alone, adding a responsive, propulsive feel to every step. Recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) for promoting better foot health and mobility, it aims to reduce foot fatigue, enhance support and stability, and aid in injury prevention—without sacrificing comfort or flexibility. A precision balance of flex and firmness—something the ARRIS team couldn't find in existing insoles, so they engineered their own. Weartesters, a trusted source on shoes, athletics apparel, and sporting goods since 2011, recently published a product review ( "This isn't just another insole upgrade; it's a legit performance tool. The AURORRA Super Insoles deliver performance benefits without compromising comfort or flexibility. They're a tool, not a gimmick, and you feel that from the moment you slip them into your sneakers." With an arch-neutral, low-profile design and weighing up to 50% less than old-school carbon fiber insoles, it offers a high-performance upgrade for under $100—a standout in a category where others charge more for outdated tech. The AXA Super Insole also stands out for its product lifespan, surpassing 1,000 walking miles in engineer-led durability tests (that's more than one million cycles at a 47-degree bend). Genuine innovation, best-in-class materials, and meaningful results. And this is just the beginning: the AXA Super Insole is the first in a growing lineup of performance-driven insoles from AURORRA By ARRIS, with more styles, sizes, and options coming soon.

SCHEELS Announces New Wisconsin Store Coming Spring 2027
SCHEELS to bring Wisconsin's largest All Sports store to Mayfair SCHEELS, an EMPLOYEE OWNED destination retailer, is excited to announce its next location opening in Wisconsin, joining the company's well known stores in Appleton and Eau Claire. The new store is planned for Wauwatosa, just west of Milwaukee, and will open Spring 2027 in collaboration with Brookfield Properties. The 210,000 sq. foot shopping destination will make its home at Mayfair after a full renovation of a vacant space. SCHEELS will feature premium shopping experiences for the entire family with unmatched customer service, premium product selection and employee expertise. 'SCHEELS has been serving communities in Wisconsin for the last 30 years and we're excited to expand our service into the Milwaukee metro,' said SCHEELS CEO Matt Hanson. 'After the success we've seen in Appleton and Eau Claire, Wauwatosa is the perfect fit for our next location. We look forward to working with the city of Wauwatosa and Brookfield Properties throughout the building process, becoming new partners in the Milwaukee community for years to come.' 'Scheels will be a great addition to Mayfair. We know our community will look forward to this new addition, Scheels will make an already thriving mall even better,' said Jonathan Kramer, president of Brookfield Properties' retail business. 'This new era of Mayfair would not have been possible without our partners at the City of Wauwatosa. We are grateful for their ongoing commitment to support our shared vision for the future of Mayfair.' The Mayfair SCHEELS location will build on the well known store amenities people have come to know and love, nearly doubling the square footage of the Appleton and Eau Claire stores. The Mayfair location will hold the state's largest selection of sporting goods, footwear and fashion all under one roof. It will feature fun attractions, true specialty shops with state of the art performance analysis technology, and boutiques showcasing premium products from top, industry leading brands. The one-of-a-kind retail destination will attract sports enthusiasts, outdoor explorers and customers seeking a wide variety of fashion and footwear for the entire family. 'Mayfair has always been Wisconsin's premier shopping destination,' said Wauwatosa mayor Dennis McBride. 'Scheels' choice of Mayfair underscores Wauwatosa's role as a key economic hub in southeastern Wisconsin. This investment strengthens our local economy and creates new opportunities for businesses and residents across the region.' The store will stock the industry's largest selection of inventory throughout 84 unique specialty shops, all staffed by true experts who are educated through SCHEELS University training with specific focus on helping customers achieve their goals. Custom services include expert golf club fitting by certified SCHEELS Master Fitters, baseball and softball bat fittings with HitTrax technology, bow fittings with certified archery bow technicians, Barnett trained bike mechanics, and more. Like other SCHEELS locations, the store will be a destination for fun with numerous family-friendly attractions including Fuzziwig's Candy Shop, rollerball, interactive arcade games, and Ginna's Cafe, serving homemade fudge, jerky, and specialty coffees. Wauwatosa SCHEELS will employ 500+ associates who will bring their expertise and enthusiasm when the store opens. The majority of these associates will be EMPLOYEE OWNERS hired locally, meaning hundreds of new jobs for the Greater Milwaukee community. The store will be the company's 36th location, as a 35th store is scheduled to open Fall 2026 in Cedar Park, Texas. SCHEELS History: Three acres of potatoes were the seed for the first SCHEELS store in 1902. Frederick A. Scheel, a German immigrant, used the $300 he earned from that first harvest as the down payment on the first SCHEELS, a small hardware store in Sabin, Minn. Over the years, SCHEELS opened in surrounding communities including Fargo in 1930, where the Campus is located today. Customer interest grew and sports lines were added to the product mix. Today, SCHEELS is a 34-store operation with stores in 16 states including North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Nevada, Illinois, Utah, Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, and Oklahoma. Currently, Steve D. Scheel, the great grandson of SCHEELS founder, is the company's Chairman Emeritus. Matt Hanson, CEO, Michelle Killoran CFO, and Todd Anderson, President oversee SCHEELS daily operations of more than 13,000 associates. Kiersten Hegland SOURCE SCHEELS
