“The ample cushioning HOKA fans demand from the Bondi is still front and centre, but the revamped midsole foam will make for a new dimension in comfort and ride quality. We’re certain that these tactical updates will satisfy both new and old Bondi fans with the best iteration yet.”

With its next-level cushioning, sleek new geometry, and conscious material choices, the HOKA Bondi 8 is poised to capture hearts—and soles—everywhere.
