Men's Bondi 9
Big Cushion for Easy Miles
The men's Bondi 9 is HOKA's max-cushion road shoe, and this version sits even taller. HOKA added 2mm of foam and moved to a supercritical EVA, so the ride is soft but has more rebound than earlier Bondis.
It's a substantial shoe (10.50 oz in HOKA's men's listing) with a 5mm drop, a knit upper that gives a roomier fit, and a reshaped collar that wraps the ankle comfortably.
The Technology
Supercritical EVA Midsole
A thick, soft foam layer, 2mm taller than the Bondi 8.
Smooth MetaRocker
A rolling sole that keeps the tall stack moving forward.
Active Foot Frame
Your heel sits down into the midsole for a steadier feel.
3D Molded Collar and Knit Upper
A cushioned ankle collar and an accommodating knit made with 55% recycled polyester.
Who This Shoe Is For
- Men who want lots of cushion for easy and recovery runs
- Runners logging long, slow miles
- Walkers and anyone who stands for long shifts
