Jean-Luc Diard, Global VP of Innovation at Deckers Brands and Co-Founder at HOKA®

“Teva introduced the very first sport sandal 40 years ago at its inception, and to now unveil Aventrail, the brand’s first sandal specifically designed for trail running, is a huge milestone and testament to the brand’s history and next evolution in outdoor performance.”
