The latest iteration of the ultra-cushioned franchise that revolutionized the running industry over a decade ago, HOKA’s Bondi 9 offers exceptional comfort for daily runs, delivering an even more seamless experience
HOKA, the brand that revolutionized the running world with its maximal cushioning technology, is back with the latest iteration of its iconic Bondi franchise: The Bondi 9. Designed to deliver comfort and support, the Bondi 9 is a top-to-bottom upgrade, promising runners an even smoother, plush ride for their everyday miles.
Since its debut in 2011, the Bondi has been a game-changer in the running community, setting a new standard for cushioning and support. The Bondi 9 builds on this legacy with a host of innovative features. At its core is a new premium midsole foam made from supercritical foamed EVA, which is lighter, more resilient, and more dynamic than ever. This, combined with updated geometries and a rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame, ensures enhanced support and control. An additional 2mm stack height and a refined MetaRocker further elevate the shoe’s smooth, cushioned ride.
The Bondi 9 doesn’t just stop at the midsole. Its structured knit upper offers zonal breathability and a more accommodating fit, while the 3D molded collar provides a softer feel and easy step-in. Durabrasion rubber on the outsole ensures durability and traction, making the Bondi 9 a reliable companion for mile after mile.
“The Bondi was the first shoe to introduce the world to maximal cushioning. The Bondi 9 takes this legacy forward, offering premium plush cushioning that makes running more accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” explains Bekah Broe, HOKA’s Senior Director of Product for Performance Footwear, in closing.
