HOKA Brings Back the Clifton 1 Model After a Decade
After about a decade, HOKA is bringing back the Clifton 1 sneaker model with the HOKA Clifton One9 silhouette. This is essentially an upgraded variation of the familiar silhouette. It first launched in 2014 and was the chunkiest model by the brand complete with a lightweight feel and cushioned sole unit.
The modernized update maintains the same retro minimalism of the original but is elevated by a more streamlined design. It features mesh paneling for seamless breathability at the upper and then accented with colorful details throughout the entire model. The new Clifton One9 is now available to shop online in two colorway palettes: the Habanero and Black colorway and the HOKA Blue and HOKA Citrus.
