Marni x HOKA have joined forces to introduce the BONDI B3LS sneakers, set to launch in spring 2025. This collaboration brings together Marni’s daring aesthetic with HOKA’s expertise in performance footwear, resulting in a design that balances innovation with visual impact. Available in four colorways: Poinciana (red), Bracken (charcoal), Tourmaline (blue), and Straw (beige), the sneakers embody the shared vision of both brands.

Building on the BONDI B3LS silhouette, this edition enhances the original with performance-driven upgrades. A highly responsive rubber sole and cushioned EVA insoles ensure comfort, while the subtly rubberized, lightly padded polyester upper adds durability without compromising flexibility. Three sets of laces accompany the design: a monochrome flat option, a tone-on-tone rope style, and a wider multicolored version that introduces a contrasting visual effect.
Francesco Risso, Creative Director at Marni, described the collaboration as an exchange of energy that mixes technical expertise with an instinctive approach to shape, color, and emotion. “Together, we’ve created a bold, totemic design – sculpted a shoe that is a fearless expression of movement, volume, and identity,” Risso stated.
Thomas Cykana, Senior Director of Global Collaborations and Partnerships at HOKA, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the connection between running and fashion. He highlighted how both brands embrace optimism, vibrant color, and unconventional design, resulting in a sneaker that brings an exaggerated, maximalist interpretation of the BONDI B3LS to life.
The MARNI x HOKA BONDI B3LS sneakers will first launch on April 3, 2025, through MARNI’s website and boutiques. A wider release follows on April 4, 2025, through HOKA.com and select retail partners worldwide. Priced at $395 USD / €395 EUR, the sneakers mark a significant moment in the ongoing evolution of performance footwear meeting high-fashion creativity.
