New HOKA ONE ONE Video Series Celebrates Women Athletes
The 'Women Who Fly' campaign launched this week and hopes to inspire athletes around the world to use running to excel in life.
This week, HOKA ONE ONE launched their ‘Women Who Fly’ campaign, which highlights three inspiring women athletes in the running community. By sharing their stories, the brand is hoping to help other athletes overcome their own sets of challenges through the sport.
“We want to dive deep into our runners’ thoughts and motivations, determining what drives them and how it shapes their perspective on life,” said Wendy Yang, President of HOKA and of the Performance Lifestyle Brands at Deckers in a press release. “All of our subjects experienced a life-changing event, but running has allowed them to overcome these challenges, work through them and come out stronger. We hope to inspire all women, regardless of how much they run. We believe all women can fly over the earth.”
