There’s a shoe that has redefined the concept of comfort in running: the HOKA Bondi. With the launch of the Bondi 9, the brand raises the bar even further, introducing a model that promises maximum cushioning and softness, suitable for every type of runner.
Maximum cushioning and technological innovation
First released in 2011, the Bondi has always provided a highly cushioned, smooth, and comfortable running experience. The new Bondi 9 continues this tradition with an innovative EVA foam midsole that is lighter and more durable. The additional 2mm of stack height compared to the previous version ensures even more generous cushioning. The Active Foot Frame system, focused on the heel, enhances support and control, while the optimized MetaRocker and updated geometry make the heel-to-toe transition and overall ride even smoother.
The upper has been designed with technical fabric that provides targeted breathability based on foot zones, while the new 3D-molded collar wraps the foot with extra softness, enhancing overall comfort. The Durabrasion Rubber outsole protects high-wear areas, ensuring traction and durability over many miles for runners of all levels.
The ‘Everybody Bondi’ campaign.
Speaking of many miles run, HOKA has launched the “Everybody Bondi” campaign, celebrating running as a collective and accessible experience. At the heart of this initiative is the Bondi 9 Week Challenge, a 9-week challenge designed to motivate people to get moving, rediscover the joy of running, and feel part of a welcoming community.
Availability and price
The Bondi 9 is available from January 15 on HOKA.com and at authorized retailers at a list price of 180 euros.
