The complete Hoka Bondi lineage

The Bondi is Hoka's flagship max-cushion trainer, the original big-stack road shoe, and the one line in the range built for easy miles, recovery days, and people who stand all day. Its history since 2020 has two turning points. The Bondi 8 (2022) was the first full redesign in years, taller and wider with an extended flared heel, and a slice of Bondi 7 loyalists never accepted the bigger fit; Hoka reissued the 7 as a retro in 2024, which tells you how that went. The Bondi 9 (2025) then swapped the old CMEVA for a supercritical foam, the line's biggest ride change ever, and mostly won people back. Offshoots sit outside the numbered succession: the plated Bondi X, the slip-resistant Bondi SR work shoe, and the retro 7 itself, which now lives on as a lifestyle model. No Bondi 10 has been announced as of July 2026.

Questions runners ask

What is the newest Hoka Bondi?
The Hoka Bondi 9, released in 2025. List price at launch was $170.
Which Hoka Bondi versions are hard to find now?
Bondi 7. It is discontinued at retail, so Amazon carries whatever stock remains and sizes disappear one by one.
Which Hoka Bondi should I buy?
New to the line: buy the Bondi 9. Loyal to the older ride: the previous version rides differently from the current one, and remaining old stock is the only way to get it. See the what-replaced page for that version before deciding.
