Coveted award marks second Editor’s Choice Award for HOKA ONE ONE
GOLETA, Calif. (July 25, 2016) — HOKA ONE ONE®, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), has won its second Editor’s Choice Award from Runner’s World Magazine for the Clayton, the pinnacle running shoe in HOKA’s new speed cushion line.
The Runner’s World Editor’s Choice Award recognizes an outstanding shoe that successfully combines the highest-quality design and technology. “The Clayton continues HOKA ONE ONE’s evolution into mainstream footwear,” write the Runner’s World editors. “This shoe likes to be driven fast.” See the full review in Runner’s World September Shoe Guide issue.
The Clayton continues a HOKA ONE ONE tradition of revolutionizing lightweight cushioning. It features PRO2LITE midsole technology with a softer heel for cushioning and a firmer forefoot for propulsion, for a smooth, fast ride. The style has gained popularity among road and trail runners alike.
The Oversize Active Foot Frame provides surprising support, similar to a race car’s bucket seat. Early stage Meta-Rocker ensures a smooth and nimble heel-to-toe transition. The RMAT® outsole layer eliminates the excess weight of traditional rubber and finishes off the ride with a responsive edge.
“From design to implementation the Clayton has been an extra special shoe to all of us here at HOKA,” said Lee Cox, HOKA ONE ONE Director of Global Marketing. “It represents the absolute best in lightweight speed and cushion and we’re honored the Runner’s World editors agree.”
The Clayton weighs 7.3 oz. (men’s size 9) and oz. (women’s size 7), and is available at running specialty stores and online at hokaoneone.com, MSRP $150.
