Hoka Skyflow Demo

Hoka has a new everyday trainer they want you to not only know about, but to also feel! Come to our weekly Wednesday Night Run in Homewood at 5:30 and try on a pair of the Skyflow, take them out for a little test run, bring them back and tell us how they felt! The Skyflow features a super-critically enhanced EVA for a super cushy and springy feel. It’s the perfect everyday trainer!
