Hoka One running shoes at the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City in 2017. Rick Bowmer—AP In the competitive retail category of athletic footwear, sneaker brand Hoka has seen sales soar thanks to its distinctive (and polarizing) chunky silhouette and clever marketing. Originally created in 2009 when two French mountain runners designed a shoe that would let them run downhill faster, the sneaker has had an undeniable influence, with countless copycats across the industry. Parent company Deckers Outdoor Corp.—which owns the similarly divisive UGG and Teva—grew sales 90% to $352 million in the third quarter of last year, mainly among 18-to-34-year-olds. CEO Dave Powers credited the brand’s first-ever global campaign—“Fly Human Fly,” a 60-second spot featuring runners sprinting through a color-shifting cityscape—as a “key catalyst” for brand recognition, and recently furthered Hoka’s reach by introducing children’s sizes. --- ### More from TIME --- _A weekly newsletter featuring conversations with the world’s top CEOs, managers, and founders._ [_Join the Leadership Brief_](https://cloud.newsletters.time.com/signup?nln=leadership&source=100companies). ## Transcript It started off with simply finding shapewear. That was a skin tone that would match my color and a lot of my friends skin tone. You neither get like a Super Lite nude or just black, there was nothing in between. And so I used to take all my shapewear and diet with tea bags and coffee and in the bathtub or in the sinks, I really was just looking for a solution to what I hadn't found out there. Let's talk about Sam. I do go to Every board meeting and I am an every strategy meeting. I would say my strong point in the business is marketing, all the campaigns, all of the model every fabric, every fit every cut, every drops, I'm more on the creative side, the game changer, we have been working on launching a men's collection for skins for a really long time and we really wanted to make it perfect, and it's going to be coming. Finally, this year, at the end of the year, I have invested money in skims. I've always believed in it. I would invest ten times over. I wish I did more, we have Chanel gorgeous everyday, smoothing and sculpting bra that holds you in the performer really unique in the sense that we do blend family, and business probably more than the average person. And I know that they always say that's when it gets really messy and sticky, and I think you will see In our new season of our show. This is the first time where it probably does get a little too tricky. I feel like I've evolved in the sense of not being so judgmental in a family member, not wanting to do a project to be a part of the family business. And at the end of the day, we've always had in our hearts that family over everything but sometimes you need to be reminded of that everybody's wearing skin everyday, the kid gets to switch of huis Music, they want to plug in and listen to on the way to school in North was listening to I spice and I didn't know who that was at the time and I was like, this is the moment where I feel really bad for my daughter is now teaching me what school. I then had the idea to put her in a skim campaign, so that all came through North and what she likes. I think it's always something and someone wants something, and someone doesn't, I would say, I spice videos. She said, mommy, can I post this? I was out of town, so I had my nanny, was there and allowed it, and then as soon as I saw the words and everything and I was like, oh no, no, we're taking this down. She was totally understood. So I think that's the trial are sometimes and you know and then I saw on the Internet. It's like Kanye was right. You know, he was in that instance. And but in the creative side where she loves making slime videos and Bring a little hair tutorials. I will fight for her to be creative in those ways. So it's always a compromise. No one's always going to agree and you just have to do the best. You can do as a parent to try to protect your kids but also let them be creative seeing the success of skims has definitely been probably one of my proudest moment. Never one to ever like. Bose store. Like that always makes me. Feel uncomfortable. But I would say maybe Keeping Up with the Kardashians, help shape the culture, and I think it's such a big part of pop culture, and everyone and everyone together. And I think you know, skin will help shape Shapewear culture and I would like to think like my sister's. I've been really influential and yeah. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/"},"headline":"Hoka","datePublished":"2023-06-21T10:55:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:25:02.582Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/","keywords":["TIME100 Companies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7545bc424147099d/698a3dc80116827a2a983208/time100-companies-Hoka-2023.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Caitlin Petreycik","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/caitlin-petreycik/"}],"creator":"Caitlin Petreycik","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7545bc424147099d/698a3dc80116827a2a983208/time100-companies-Hoka-2023.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/","name":"TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2023"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/","name":"Hoka"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2023: Skims","description":"Find out why Skims was selected for the list","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/C57Q4uX9/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-06-20T11:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/C57Q4uX9.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/","duration":"PT4M18S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2023/6285141/hoka/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
