The Bondi has long been HOKA’s signature franchise: with maximal cushion, minimal weight, and a totally unique ride, it has been helping athletes of all stripes reimagine what movement can feel like since the first version hit shelves a decade ago.
Now, the Bondi X adds a carbon-fiber plate to that uniquely HOKA experience, designed to provide a more efficient and responsive ride through every step. We sat down with Senior Footwear Product Developer Ryan Ritzau to learn more about how you, too, can level up with the new Bondi X.
My first pair of Hoka road running shoes and they do not disappoint. I’m only 25 miles or so in but they felt great right out of the box. I’m a bit of a heel striker and they have a ton of cushion to keep the long runs feeling great!
