The HOKA Clifton One9 has been shown off by the brand as an upgraded version of its original sneaker from 2014 that will provide wearers with a decidedly retro option for their wardrobe. The sneakers feature the familiar silhouette and design of the original, but have been enhanced and modernized with a more streamlined profile with mesh paneling on the upper along with a number of colorful accents. The sneakers come as part of a push towards retro footwear aesthetics that still keep technical needs and materials in the spotlight.
The HOKA Clifton One9 is available online for purchase starting today in Habanero/Black and HOKA Blue/HOKA Citrus color options, which will be complemented by additional options in 2025.
