Hoka Clifton 9 - COPPER BLACK
Hoka Clifton 9 – History and Creation
The Clifton line was launched by Hoka in response to the need for a shoe that is extremely soft, lightweight, and ideal for long-distance running. Since the release of the first Clifton in 2014, it has become one of the brand’s most beloved silhouettes.
The Clifton 9, released in 2023, is the ninth generation of this model and represents the evolution of the shoe in every aspect: lighter, softer, and more responsive — while maintaining the foundation that made it iconic.
What’s New in the Clifton 9?
-
More cushioning: The midsole is 3 mm thicker, yet the shoe remains lighter than the previous version (Clifton 8).
-
New CMEVA foam: Lighter and more responsive than before, with excellent durability.
-
Smoother transition: Outsole design remodeled to improve stride flow.
-
More breathable upper: Redesigned engineered mesh with fewer seams and a more comfortable fit.
