The Rundown
The buoyancy makes everyday riding more enjoyable.

The ninth-generation Clifton has been born, with upgraded cushioning and lightness to deliver a floating ride.

While increasing the height from the ground by 3mm, the shoe is lighter in weight, and a new foam has been adopted that provides a good balance of cushioning and rebound, and the outsole design has also been improved.

In addition, it has a slim upper with fewer overlapping areas and bonded parts, a heel shape that feels good on the foot, a reflective heel panel, and a gusset on the inside only to prevent the tongue from slipping.

HOKA ONE ONE

A shoe brand founded in 2009 by founders Jean-Luc and Nicolas Mermoud.

The brand name comes from the fact that when the founders were traveling in New Zealand, a local runner called out to them at the top of a mountain, ``HOKA ONE ONE'' (it's time to descend to the earth), a Maui phrase.

Headquartered in Sandabarbara, California, the company produces innovative footwear, with a focus on running shoes.

In the world of running shoes, where lightweight, thin soles were revered, this notable brand has caused a revolution with shoes that feature extra thick soles, which could be seen as the complete opposite approach.
