Humans of HOKA: Ahmed Muhumed ✨ "That responsibility for me is to ensure while I have this opportunity, while I can give back, I should give back, so in 10-15 years' time, when my running career is over, I can say I did not only make it for myself, I tried to have as much impact as I could along the way." - Ahmed Muhumed In our latest film, HOKA athlete Ahmed Muhumed takes us on a journey through his childhood, his running motivations, and–most recently–hosting a youth running event in the Somali Region of Ethiopia where he grew up.

Everybody Bondi — Soft and bouncy with superior cushioning, the Bondi 9 provides a distinctly different ride.

Overhauled from top to bottom, we’ve increased the stack height and added a new premium foam midsole to deliver that soft, resilient ride that’s become synonymous with the Bondi. Elevated with a 3D molded collar and structured knit upper with zonal breathability, this ultra-cushioned cult favorite has been finished with Durabrasion rubber to combat high wear zones.
