The Hoka brand, also known as Hoka One One, is a sportswear company founded in 2009 by two French runners, Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard, who were former employees of the legendary Salomon brand. This relatively young brand has grown in reputation and customer base because of its drive for faster and more cushioned running shoes.
Their products are favored by runners all over the world for the ultra stability and maximum cushioning they offer. Another quality that endears the brand to runners is Hoka's range of affordable sneakers. Although the brand's sneakers are relatively affordable, some of their sneakers have sold for more than $700 on resale due to how sought after they are.
