Eliminating weight while adding in stack height, the Clifton 9 black/ white lace up performance Runner from Hoka delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with a responsive new foam and improved outsole design. Removing overlays and hotmelts, the stripped back upper has been consciously crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset. Heel-to-toe Drop: 5mm.
