HOKA ONEONE’s
trail shoes

Influenced by friends and my wife, I've started running around the mountains. It's called trail running. I enjoy it at my own pace, focusing on creating memories rather than breaking records, exploring areas like Takao and Hakone's outer rims which are easily accessible from the city.
I’ve been doing this for several years and though I don't feel much progress or growth, the excitement as I enter the mountains, the delight when my legs work well during the climb, and the post-descent bath – these moments remain utterly joyful.

The stylish runners I meet in the mountains all seem to be wearing HOKA ONEONE. Surprisingly suitable for Japan's steep ups and downs in low to mid-mountainous terrain, these shoes excel with their cushioning.
When I wear HOKA ONEONE shoes in the mountains, my feet naturally move forward with every ascent and descent. I feel as agile as a ninja.

The HUAKA ORIGINS model revives the 2014 archive, with its assertive side logo and tech-inspired color palette still looking fresh to today's eyes. Yet, it's not merely a nostalgic revival. It's a genuine trail shoe with a streamlined, race-ready upper and a sole that offers great grip – an embodiment of practical elements.

I truly recommend trying out this pair on the field.
