Hoka Clifton 9 Cerise/Cloudless

Released on 14 March 2024 and part of Hoka's Clifton line. This release has a knit upper in Cerise/Cloudless. Cerise with Cloudless is a deep pink upper against a pale sky blue, one of the boldest pairings the Clifton 9 was given, and it works because this is the model with the least to prove. The Clifton is Hoka's cushioned road daily trainer, the shoe that took the brand's founding idea out of the mountains and made it usable for people running ordinary loops. The ninth version was the one that sat in most people's rotation, and in this colourway it stops behaving like equipment. Pink and blue on an exaggerated sidewall stack is a straight line back to the brand's early insistence on colour when everyone else was going minimal.
