Marni and HOKA are back for a second round, and this time the Italian fashion house took on HOKA’s best-selling everyday trainer, the Clifton 11. The Clifton Marni keeps the running hardware exactly where it was, the same mesh upper, EVA midsole, and MetaRocker ride, and layers Marni’s personality on top: a wavy silicone print, the lateral HOKA branding stripped away, a plaid sockliner, metal lace dubraes, and three sets of laces. It comes in Orange, White, and Black in unisex sizing. The campaign is called Every Day Is a Marathon, and it shoots the orange pair under tailored trousers in the middle of ordinary routines, which is exactly where this shoe belongs. That is the whole pitch, a daily trainer that reads as a fashion shoe, for anyone who wants Clifton comfort without looking like they just came from a run, in the same spirit as Danner’s William Ellery Scramblers. The honest math is that the standard Clifton 11 costs $155, so the Marni layer runs $120. The Clifton Marni is $275 a pair, on sale now through HOKA and select retailers.
