HOKA, founded in France in 2009, started out as a two-man enterprise – Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard wanted to create men’s HOKA trainers and women’s HOKA trainers that made running feel like flying. As it rises to the upper echelons of sneaker fame, comfort and innovation remain as important to the designers – who also offer boy’s HOKA trainers and girl’s HOKA trainers – as ever, with each true-to-size fit boasting a cushioned midsole, Active Foot Frame and MetaRocker sole for spring-loaded acceleration. Explore the entire range of men’s running shoes and women’s running shoes here at Harrods, featuring the shock-absorbing Clifton 9, Bondi 8.
