Marni and Hoka just dropped cult-favourite luxury sneakers that are bold, maximalist and colourful. The codesigned Bondi B3LS is designed for fashion-driven individuals who like performance-wear, shows that deliver style, comfort and support.

The Marni x Hoka collaboration celebrates the intersection between fashion and performance by combining Marni’s bold, artistic designs with Hoka’s technical expertise in the BONDI B3LS sneakers. Available in four distinct shades – Poinciana, Bracken, Tourmaline and Straw – this collaboration reflects the shared spirit of creativity and functionality that characterises both brands.

“Collaborating with Hoka has been exhilarating—an exchange of energy where their technical mastery met Marni’s instinct for shape, color, and emotion,” said Francesco Risso, creative director of Marni, in a press release. “Together, we’ve created a bold, totemic design–sculpted a shoe that is a fearless expression of movement, volume, and identity.”

Enhancing the original silhouette of the B3LS, the Marni x Hoka edition features a highly reactive rubber sole, cushioned EVA insoles and a lightly padded and rubberised polyester upper to ensure greater comfort and durability. The design is completed by three sets of laces so consumers can customise their look: a flat monochrome pair, a tone-on-tone rope pair and a wider, multi-color option for a bold contrasting look.

Thomas Cykana, the senior director of global collaborations and partnerships at Hoka, described this collaboration as “a natural intersection of running and fashion,” with the Bondi B3LS being a “dramatically exaggerated and maximalist expression … as an embodiment of that shared vision.”

The shoes launched via Marni on April 3 for $395 before hitting Hoka’s web-store a day later on April 4.

Marni

Founded in Milan in 1994, OTB-owned Marni is recognised for experimental craftsmanship techniques and the creative use of colour, material, and silhouette. Creative director since 2016, Francesco Risso, invokes a new, 21st-century Renaissance through phantasmagorical mythos and sartorial storytelling. Bridging the gap between the conceptual and the wearable, Risso approaches design as a gesamtkunstwerk— a work of art, shaped through hand-made processes.

Marni’s first boutique opened in London in 1999, followed by New York, Paris and Tokyo. Today its 96 stores challenge the banality of the typical retail experience— simultaneously acting as galleries, artist residencies and havens for  the Marni family. The flagship store in Via Montenapoleone in Milan is a multifunctional, free-standing installation space that hosts revolving artists. Marni conceptualizes “the shop” as a doorless, room-less vehicle for artistic communion, manifesting in special collaborations and capsule collections.

After embarking on a world voyage—starting under the Dumbo Bridge in Brooklyn, then Yoyogi gymnasium in Tokyo, followed by Karl Lagerfeld’s private home in Paris—Marni returned to Milan in 2024 to show for the brand’s 30th anniversary. Hosted in a hand-made paper cave in the tunnels of the Milano Centrale Railway Station, the show was both a celebration of the brand’s rich history and an inauguration of the next chapter in Marni’s design lexicon.
