FIRST LOOK: HOKA Bondi 9

Delivering unrivalled maximum cushioning, the HOKA Bondi returns for its 9th iteration featuring updates to its stack height, midsole foam and upper, to deliver even more of its peak plushness for everyday miles.

Overhauled from top to bottom, the Bondi 9 remains as one of the hardest working shoes in the HOKA lineup. Made for soft, everyday miles, the Bondi 9 delivers comfort and resilience for any level of runner.

Super Critical Midsole Foam

HOKA has upgraded the the underfoot cushioning with super critical foam, the same as you would find in the HOKA Mach 6, to help provide a soft and resilient ride.

This has been layered with an extra 2mm of stack height compared to its predecessor with a total stack height of 43mm in the heel.

The Bondi 9 maintains an Active Foot Frame™ technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.

Improved Knit Upper

Adding to the overhaul, the Bondi 9 features a new 3D molded collar and knit upper to provide a more accommodating fit while continuing to fit true-to-size.

It maintains its breathability with engineering mesh made with 55% recycled polyester so it's ready to take on any distance.
