About this episode
The Hoka Bondi 9 is an all-new comfort-oriented everyday training shoe that refreshes one of the original max cushion gang nameplates. Priced at $170, it competes with a slew of stacked shoes to hit the market over the past few years, including bangers like the New Balance More v5 ($155), Saucony Hurricane 24 ($160) and Puma MagMax ($180). In this video, I give an overview of the Bondi, take it out for some miles and let you know my thoughts.
