Hoka Clifton 10 Skyward Blue

Released on 8 April 2025 and part of Hoka's Clifton 10 line. This release has a jacquard upper in Blue/Skyward Blue. Skyward Blue is the colourway that suits the Clifton best, because both the shoe and the shade are meant to be uncomplicated. The Clifton is Hoka's balanced daily trainer, the model that made the brand's founding argument legible to normal runners: an oversized cushioned platform, first built in Annecy in 2009 to make downhill running faster, engineered light enough that the depth never becomes a burden. Ten versions in, that is still the only promise it makes. In a clear, open blue with tonal detailing, this is the version that looks like a running shoe rather than a fashion object, which is precisely its appeal.
