RUNNR, the Philippines’
leading running specialty store, introduced HOKA ONE ONE® last March 16, 2017.
The arrival of the award-winning running
shoe brand in the country is the most anticipated day as runners, sports
enthusiast and many others flocked to Runnr BGC and lined up to get their hands
on HOKA ONE ONE®.
A brand that made their way
in 2009, HOKA ONE ONE was born when Ultra Marathon champion Nico Mermoud
realized he needed shoes to help him run downhill fast while reducing the shock
that took a toll on his legs. Mermoud then partnered with fellow athlete
Jean-Luc Diard in engineering a shoe that had more cushion than traditional
running shoes and a uniquely carved geometry that encouraged an efficient foot
strike – thus the revolutionary, lightweight running shoe brand was born.
Over the years, HOKA has
become one of the most acclaimed running shoe brands in the world, winning
accolades from Competitor Magazine, Triathlete and Runners’ World.
The continuous growth of HOKA
can be attributed to runners of all types embracing the brand's goal of
delivering lightweight, wellcushioned shoes with an exceptional ride.
Recognizing the demand of the growing Philippine running community for quality
and high-performing products, RUNNR, a member of the Quorum Group of Companies,
will exclusively carry the HOKA shoe line in the Philippines, adding yet
