Excited for what’s to come in the future!

Lengthy boring waffle :
Hoka oddly has been a brand consistent with my life since I was 13 years old. My dad joined Hoka after deckers’ purchased it in 2013 , tasked with rolling the brand out into the UK running specialty market. The house was full of deconstructed shoes, prototypes & finished product w/ binders comprising of different midsole materials, dual midsole density’s and interchangeable outsoles. From seeing the brand that young having a line of shoes limited to 7 or so to where it is now feels pretty special.
(Absolutely appreciate the nepotism angle here).
My second relationship with Hoka came after I’d had my first couple of GB junior vests in 2019, when Simon Taylor & Chris Rainsford sent me my first Hoka kit drop during lockdown. I joined the Hoka team in 2020 before deciding to spend some time in the NCAA. On my return in 2023, I had a phone call from Chris saying he had this idea of having a professional running team in London. Obviously I was sold. I signed two weeks before winning my u23 European title, committed to being a founding member of this London setup. A few changes meant the ‘London’ plan in its initial form was put on ice and as a collective we begged stole and borrowed for a year before making the move to London. It’s been a really cool journey so far & I look forward to the future.
As always, cheers to @headstartmanagement for taking care care of all this stuff & being a staple in my corner these days 👍🏼
