Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Here are the key benefits for a runner using the Hoka Bondi 9:
Maximum Cushioning: The Bondi 9 features a massive stack height and an updated supercritical EVA foam midsole. This provides an exceptionally soft and protective ride, effectively absorbing impact and reducing stress on your joints, muscles, and feet. This is particularly beneficial for long runs, recovery sessions, or for runners who prefer a plush feel.
Smooth and Stable Ride: Despite its high stack height, the Bondi 9 is designed to be stable. Hoka's signature "Meta-Rocker" technology, a curved sole geometry, promotes a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The shoe also has a wider base and a rearfoot-focused "Active Foot Frame," where your foot sits down inside the midsole, which cradles the foot and adds a layer of inherent stability.
Lightweight and Responsive: The new supercritical EVA foam is a significant upgrade from previous models. It's lighter than traditional EVA foam and offers a more responsive, energetic feel. This means you get the plush cushioning you expect from the Bondi, but with a bit more bounce and less of a "sluggish" feel, making it a more enjoyable ride even at slightly faster paces.
Enhanced Comfort and Fit: The upper is made with a structured knit material that's both breathable and supportive. A new 3D-molded collar and extended heel pull make the shoe easy to put on and take off, while providing a secure and comfortable fit. The design is more accommodating through the midfoot and forefoot, which is a welcome change for runners who found previous Bondi versions a bit too narrow.
Durability: The Durabrasion rubber outsole is strategically placed in high-wear areas, which helps to reduce weight while still providing excellent durability. This ensures the shoe can withstand many miles on the road, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for daily training.
