Hoka Running

Hoka was born in 2009 in Annecy, in the heart of the French Alps, founded by Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard. Their idea was to give downhill and trail runners maximal cushioning through thick yet light midsoles, combined with a rocker geometry that smooths out every stride. Met with curiosity at first, the approach won over ultra-trail runners and then road runners. Across Europe, Hoka running shoes are now a benchmark for comfort.

The NOIRFONCE Hoka running selection brings together three models with different purposes. The Tecton X 2 TS in Cosmic Grey is a fast trail shoe built for singletrack and racing. The Mafate Speed 4 Lite in Electric Cobalt carries the trail DNA of the Mafate in a lighter, lifestyle-oriented version. Finally, the Clifton One9 in Black White revisits the Clifton, one of the brand's signature road models. Available sizes depend on stock and are shown in real time.

Every Hoka shares the same philosophy: plenty of cushioning at a low weight and a geometry that supports your stride. The Tecton X 2 features carbon plates for extra propulsion and stability on descents, while its lugged outsole grips technical terrain. Hoka generally fit true to size, so stick to your usual running size. If you have wide feet or run long distances, going half a size up can add a little extra room and comfort.

While the Tecton X 2 is built for the trails, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite and Clifton One9 also work for everyday wear. Their chunky soles pair perfectly with technical trousers, cargos or shorts in the gorpcore spirit that blends outdoor gear and streetwear. The Electric Cobalt and Cosmic Grey colourways add character, while Black White stays easy to style. A pair of Hoka moves effortlessly from a morning run to lunch in town.
