Kicking off the second half of the 2025 season fully geared, fully grateful.

Proud to be part of the HOKA Middle East hokamiddleeast family, as one of the OG ambassadors in the region. It’s been amazing to see how the brand has grown here over the years and to know I’ve been a small part of that journey makes it even more meaningful.

📏 First stop was the SafeSize 3D foot scanner at the HOKA store in Mirdif City Centre, this machine gives you a super accurate fit recommendation based on your foot shape and size. If you haven’t tried it yet, definitely worth it.

👟 Next up, the all New Mafate X. This trail beast offers max cushioning, a responsive midsole, breathable upper, and serious grip. Whether it’s long trail days or pushing the pace off-road, this one’s built to go far and go fast.

🏃‍♂️ For the road, I grabbed the Skyward X. It’s built with a carbon-fiber plate and PEBA foam that gives me a soft yet springy ride. At 84kg, I need a shoe that can support my stride without weighing me down, this one delivers smooth transitions and comfort mile after mile.

🩴 And for post-run recovery, nothing beats the U Ora Recovery Mule Slide. Super comfy, sleek design, and let’s be honest… the closed-toe is perfect for covering up the aftermath of all those trail and tempo sessions 🤣

Huge thanks to Jerlyn at the Mirdif store, she handled everything like a champ despite being the only one there with a busy shop. Appreciate the help and patience!

Let’s keep chasing goals and good energy. Fly Human Fly 🔥
