HOKA is one of running's most influential modern brands. Founded in 2009 with roots in French ultratrail running, it first built its identity around cushioned, high-stack shoes that stood in sharp contrast to the minimalist trend that still shaped much of the market at the time. Models like the Bondi helped bring that philosophy to road running and played a major role in popularizing max-cushion design during the 2010s. What once looked unconventional is now the norm, as most major brands now offer tall, cushioned trainers of their own, and much of the market has caught up and in some cases surpassed it with even plusher options. Because of this, HOKA has had to diversify its lineup and now offers a lot more than just max-cushion trainers.
