Running shoe brand Hoka One One, which has been the group’s star performer in recent years, continued its upward trajectory, recording a 53.1% increase in sales during the first quarter to $47 million. 

The Teva brand saw its sales increase 6.2%, but there was a 6.6% decrease in revenue from the Sanuk brand.
