HOKA ONE ONE was founded in the Alps in 2009 by Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas Mermoud, two former employees of Salomon, with the idea of revolutionizing the world of trail running. The brand is renowned for its oversized soles that provide superior cushioning and a lightweight feel. The name HOKA ONE ONE, taken from the Maori language, means "flying over the earth". In a few years, HOKA has become popular among long-distance runners and athletes thanks to the technological innovation in its designs. In 2013, it was acquired by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, further supporting its growth and global expansion.
