What’s New in the Hoka Bondi 9?
Elevated Cushioning and Stack Height

Whether you’re covering easy miles or recovering post-run, the Bondi 9 is built to keep you comfortable mile after mile.
Refined Upper Design
The Bondi 9 now features a structured knit upper, made with 55% recycled polyester, that provides zonal breathability and a secure fit. Details like reflective accents enhance visibility, while a 3D molded collar ensures a snug, cushioned feel around the ankle. An extended heel pull makes putting the shoe on effortless, especially for those on the go.
Durable Outsole
The Durabrasion rubber outsole combats high wear zones, making the Bondi 9 a durable choice for both road and treadmill runners. This outsole is designed to provide excellent traction and maintain performance over time.
