Deckers-owned Hoka and Italianfashion house Marni owned by OTB remix the Bondi B3LS and give it a quilted makeover. Marni creative director Francesco Risso transformed the 2014 Bondi 3 into a “cloud of colour” inspired by Andy Warhol, keeping Hoka’s signature cushioned sole intact. The sneakers will be available in four colorways red, charcoal, blue and beige.
In press about the colaboration Thomas Cykana, Hoka senior director of global collaborations and partnerships said,“The partnership between Hoka and Marni is rooted in celebrating the natural intersection of running and fashion. Both brands value bold optimism, irreverent color and witty playfulness in a visionary manner.In that spirit, Hoka is proud to bring a dramatically exaggerated and maximalist expression of the Bondi B3LS to life as an embodiment of that shared vision.”
The Marni x Hoka Bondi B3LS drop in four colorways on Marni’s website on April 3rd and Hoka’s on April 4th. Priced at $395 this is Hoka’s priciest sneaker yet.
