Goleta, Calif. (Feb. 29, 2016) — HOKA ONE ONE® (a division of Deckers Brands NYSE: DECK) continues to revolutionize the concept of lightweight cushioning in running shoes with the debut of the Clayton, the pinnacle product in a new speed category for the brand. The Clayton features PRO2LITE midsole technology, a progressive dual density midsole that combines a cushioned heel for protection with a firm forefoot for propulsion, the epitome of speed and cushion.
“Never has a shoe from HOKA ONE ONE been this protected and this light until now,” said Jean-Luc Diard, HOKA ONE ONE co-founder and vice president of innovation. “This is a shoe you can use on everything from long training runs when you need support, to race day when you need speed.”
A signature Oversize Active Foot Frame delivers a supportive fit, and early stage Meta-Rocker provides a smooth and nimble ride. A full RMAT® outsole offers excellent rebound, cushioning and traction, and eliminates the weight of traditional rubber. The Clayton’s total weight is an impressive 7.3 ounces (men’s size 9).
“The Clayton is a groundbreaking shoe for us because it offers the option to run in an unbelievably lightweight shoe without sacrificing comfort,” said HOKA ONE ONE President Wendy Yang. “As we continue to develop innovative products, we make sure each product retains the signature HOKA ONE ONE technology runners have come to expect—and the Clayton reflects that.”
In an exclusive, limited release, the Clayton will be available on March 1 in select Jack Rabbit stores. It launches nationwide on April 1, and retails for $150.
