Designed to help dedicated runners achieve maximum performance, the HOKA ONE ONE and Oiselle collaboration goes beyond a typical retailer partnership – it is an extension of brand synergy that is deeply rooted in empowering women and all runners through the concept of flight.
“We thought Oiselle would be a good partner for several reasons – they’re solidly rooted in running and create a product that is beautiful, wearable and versatile, while also sharing similar brand values of providing consumers with the inspiration and tools they need to reach their fitness goals,” said Gretchen Weimer, VP of Product at HOKA ONE ONE. “We’re excited to team up with Oiselle and share the fruit of our collaboration with women who inspire us every day.”
“Running is best when shared, which is why we are so thrilled here at Oiselle to partner with our friends at HOKA ONE ONE, who share both our vision for women and dedication to the sport,” said Sally Bergesen, Founder and CEO of Oiselle. “The Oiselle community of women are experts in flying, and this shoe, based on the popular Clayton model, will help them do more of that.”
Both brands are connected by their desire of providing a lifestyle product that is both aesthetically beautiful and functional. This special edition Clayton 2, which will retail for $160, will be available in two colorways: the first in shades of silver with a pink sole as a refreshing detail, and the second drawing inspiration from midnight and cinder tones. The colorways tie directly to Oiselle’s Spring ’17 palette, allowing fans of both brands to coordinate their running gear with their shoes this spring. Oiselle’s highly anticipated spring apparel line will also retail on HOKA ONE ONE’s brand site, timed to the collaboration’s launch date.
