Hoka Clifton 9: The Every Runner's Shoe
Need a daily trainer as you prep for your next marathon? Enter the Hoka Clifton 9. It's a neutral-fit training shoe that offers a rockered ride to help you get the most out of every stride. Its chunky silhouette provides exceptional cushioning without weighing you down. In fact, the Clifton 9 is one of Hoka's lightest running shoes, made of a breathable mesh material, reflective panels, and a streamlined tongue.
No matter your running goals, you'll find plenty of Hoka Clifton 9 women's and Hoka Clifton 9 men's styles here at Hibbett.
Understanding the Clifton 9's Rise to Fame
Released in 2023, the Hoka Clifton 9 is known for its plush, oversized midsole that offers both comfort and performance. It's actually 3mm taller than its predecessor while being 4 grams lighter, meaning you'll have more cushioning than ever before. Hoka also created a weatherproof Hoka Clifton 9 GTX iteration that uses GORE-TEX Invisible Fit and weather-ready traction pods so you can run in any conditions.
HOKA, a brand born in the French Alps, has disrupted the running shoe industry with its innovative designs. The Clifton, a flagship model, offers a signature soft ride and lightweight construction, unlike other sneakers — perfect for runners of all levels.
The good news is that the Hoka Clifton 9 comes in plenty of colorways that'll light a fire beneath you. The Hoka Clifton 9 in white and Lemonade is one such pick, with an all-white base with bright yellow accents. Too much color? Try the Clifton in completely monochromatic white.
Of course, Hoka Clifton 9 Black colorways are also popular. Options like the Clifton 9 in Black and Varsity Navy offer a moody contrast, while the Black and Outer Orbit colorway is more neutral. You also can't go wrong with the Clifton 9 all-black variant!
What Makes the Clifton 9 a Bestseller
Here are some of the key features that make the Clifton 9 a must-have running shoe.
Early Stage MetaRocker™
The Clifton 9 features an Early Stage Meta-Rocker design, which promotes a smooth and efficient running gait. By positioning the rocker near the midfoot, the shoe encourages a quicker transition from heel strike to toe-off.
Compression Molded EVA Foam Midsole
This design element provides exceptional cushioning and shock absorption, making it ideal for long runs and daily wear.
