Hoka Bondi Running Shoes

Run to the Hills With Hoka Bondi

HOKA, a brand known for its unconventional approach to footwear design, introduced the Bondi in 2009. This maximalist running shoe, with its oversized midsole, quickly gained popularity among runners and casual wearers alike. The Bondi's unique design and exceptional comfort have made it a staple in the running shoe market. Today, we're all the way up to the Hoka Bondi 8 — though you can still grab pairs of the Hoka Bondi 7 and earlier if you look hard enough.

The Rise of the Maximalist: A HOKA Tale

In the heart of the French Alps, a group of passionate runners led by Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas Mermoud challenged the traditional notion of running footwear. Their vision? Create a shoe that would provide unparalleled comfort and support, allowing runners to push their limits.

The result of their innovation was the HOKA Bondi, a maximalist running shoe with an oversized midsole that defied convention. During the height of minimalist designs, HOKA dared to be different with its pillow-like cushioning and advanced shock absorption.

Today, the HOKA Bondi remains a popular choice for runners and casual wearers alike. Even celebrities like Britney Spears, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow have been spotted rocking a pair of Hoka Bondis!

Some of the best black Hoka Bondi colorways are the simplest, like the all-black variant — great if you're a road runner who doesn't want to deal with dirt stains. The black and white Hoka Bondi 8 is also a great pick, with a black upper that melts down into a white outsole.

As far as grey Hoka Bondi colorways go, the Bondi 8 Sharkskin/Harbor Mist looks sleek with an ombre upper. Of course, you can't go wrong with Hoka Bondi 7 Harbor Mist and White colorway, which is a little softer.
