Hoka was founded in 2009 in Annecy, in the French Alps, by two former Salomon product men — Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard — who wanted a trail shoe with enough foam and enough rocker to run downhill faster than you should. Deckers acquired the brand in 2012; by 2024 Hoka was a $1.8B line run out of Goleta, California. The Meta-Rocker geometry and oversized foam midsole remain the through-line across every model.
Hopara 2 is Hoka's amphibious hike-water hybrid — 30% sugarcane-derived EVA midsole, 100% recycled knit upper with Cordura mesh drainage overlays, toggle lace, adjustable heel strap, Vibram Megagrip rubber with drainage ports. Built for creeks, wet canyons, beach approaches, paddle-sport shuttles, tropical travel — the one-pair answer when the day goes in and out of the water. Women's Hopara 2 — same amphibious hybrid construction on the women's last.
