HOKA Unveils the Clifton PRO

JULY 10, 2026 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO

For more than a decade, HOKA’s Clifton has been the benchmark for runners seeking the rare balance between plush cushioning and lightweight performance. Now, the brand is pushing its most iconic franchise into a new era with the launch of the Clifton PRO, a performance-focused evolution designed for athletes who see every training session as an opportunity to improve. Retaining the smooth ride that made the Clifton a modern classic, the new silhouette introduces a sleeker profile and HOKA’s debut PROGLIDE+ system, a next-generation combination of SCF foam and an aggressive MetaRocker™ geometry that delivers a more fluid, efficient transition with every stride.

Built for high-volume mileage without compromising speed or control, the Clifton PRO refines the daily trainer through premium materials, a breathable engineered mesh upper, an updated rocker geometry, and a durable outsole engineered to keep pace with demanding routines. Rather than chasing race-day theatrics, HOKA focuses on the quiet repetition that defines real progress, a message reinforced through its accompanying Run It Again campaign, celebrating the discipline behind consistent training.

The Clifton PRO represents not only the next chapter of one of running’s most influential shoes, but also HOKA’s continued commitment to merging technical innovation with contemporary design for a new generation of performance-minded athletes.

The Clifton PRO is available at HOKA.com and at authorized dealers worldwide.
