Innovative performance, mile after mile. The ninth generation of our award-winning Clifton collection is here, lighter and more cushioned than ever. The new Clifton 9 is lighter while gaining 3mm in sole thickness. It delivers an unprecedented cushioning experience thanks to a new responsive foam and an improved outsole design. The streamlined rear upper is thoughtfully crafted with a plush heel, a reflective panel, and a contoured tongue with a medial gusset on one side.
To allow runners to train in all weather conditions, the iconic Clifton now features a layer of GORE-TEX Invisible Fit and grippy lugs ready to tackle any weather. As HOKA's first ever weather-resistant road shoe, this splash-proof model boasts 360-degree reflectivity and a closed mesh construction for added protection. Designed to shine, even in the dark, the Clifton 9 GORE-TEX proves that no weather condition is insurmountable.
