I bought a pair of Hokas a couple of years ago because everyone raved about the cushioning. They were great for maybe 6-8 months, then the cushioning really wore out. My Nikes last far longer (for more miles).
I think Hokas and OC sneakers are trendy, and for people who are using them primarily for running errands, going to fitness classes, short runs, any shoe is just fine. But all the serious runners I know wear shoes that fit their feet best, and honestly it's still mostly Brooks and ASICS.

What kind of workout scene is this if you feel the need to wear a fashionable workout shoe?? I understand wanting a fashionable sneaker for every day, but footwear for working out should be based on your foot and the type of activity you are doing.

Then you are not really "very into fashion and trends."
