The brand was founded in 2009 by Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard, who were former employees from another running company. The pair set out on a mission to design a shoe that allowed for faster downhill running. This is when HOKA was born. The name of this brand came from the Māori language phrase meaning "to fly".

What made this company different from its competitors was the big outsole, which contributed to more cushioning. Because of this, these running shoes became popular with ultramarathon runners

HOKA increased their exposure by sponsoring a variety of professional runners. The first athletes were mostly trial ultra runners but they soon expanded to several track & field, triathlon, and road-running athletes.

Here at JD, we have a wide variety of different HOKA running shoes, ranging from the Clifton 9 to the Bondi 9. Each of these shoes is different, with different benefits. Each features HOKA’s CMEVA foam, which is a lightweight foam that is soft and responsive. Some materials you find on these shoes are mesh used on the upper for breathability, and rubber on the outsole for traction. Start browsing the collection today and take your running to the next step.
