HOKA ONE ONE was founded in France in 2009 by Nico Mermoud and Jean-Loc Diard.
They all worked for Salomon, a well-known outdoor sports brand, and the brand's first shoes were modified from Salomon's shoes with a wide and thick sole. The wide and thick soles are HOKA ONE ONE's signature design, but underneath the heavy exterior there is a lightweight experience. At the same time, the rolling design can help people run faster and easier. This makes more and more runners choose this brand.
It can be said that the HOKA ONE ONE led the trend of thick-soled running shoes.
