Where to Buy the New Hoka Clifton Marni Sneaker

Estimated read time2 min read

Last year, when Marni and Hoka launched their first collaboration, the two labels came together to bring the world a collection of puffy, chunky, candy-colored takes on the athletic footwear brand’s Bondi sneaker. Naturally, it was a hit among the streetwear set, including the likes of Steph Curry. Of course, a lot can change in the span of a year and a half—and the latest sneaker trends are no exception. In the same way jeans have gone from baggy styles to straight-leg and even skinny jeans, fashion has taken its sneakers from their dad eras to silhouettes that lean a little sleeker. The latest result of these turning tides: The Hoka Clifton Marni.

“Shifting from the maximalist and oversized aesthetic towards a calmer, more essential form made sense with Meryll [Rogge]’s ascension to Marni,” Thomas Cykana, Hoka’s senior director of global collaborations, tells ELLE in an email. “This affords a simple but surprising design that cues premium embellishments, metallic hardware, and unexpected prints over an overtly in-your-face design. This shift enables consumers to both craft their uniform and express their individuality without sacrificing Hoka’s pure performance capabilities.”

Launching globally on November 13, the design is the culmination of form and function. Marni brings its unique design perspective to the technical shoe, not only with the chosen colors—Orange, Black, and White—but also with design-forward touches such as woven heel tabs, windowpane-patterned insoles, and three shoelace options for each colorway.

“Marni has a unique ability to take everyday design cues and make them feel artful and unexpected. That lust for curiosity and imaginative nature is what first drew our team to the label and continues to inspire us,” Cykana shares. “Our debut collection in 2025 showed how much our teams share in creativity and craftsmanship, and that trust led us to our unique spin on the iconic Clifton. The editorial tone they delivered to this project reflects the perfect sensation of everyday and extraordinary at once.”

The Hoka Clifton Marni sneaker will be available for $275 on November 13 at Hoka.com and select global retailers.
