A young man wearing a HOKA-branded T-shirt is “clearly not a runner,” according to a source, and “probably can’t even name three HOKA models.”

The source, himself an avid runner who requested anonymity, spotted the man in question in the lobby of a local hotel.

“I walk out of the elevator and see this guy, looking too cool for school, standing there with his beard and tattoos and big weird watch,” the source said. “And then I see his HOKA T-shirt, and I’m, like, dude, please.

The man was wearing black Doc Martens boots, according to the source.

“It was pathetic,” the source said. “I’d bet you a thousand bucks this guy couldn’t tell a Speedgoat from a Clifton.”

“What a poser,” the source added.

Dumb Runner tracked down the so-called poser, who confirmed that he wouldn’t know a Bondi 8 if it bit him in the ass.

“I got the shirt at a thrift store,” he said. “It was 5 bucks.”

“Who is this, again?”
