I think he just liked the old Bondi B, like me. He’s hopping they’ll go back and make the old Bondi B again. Alas every single shoe since the Clifton 1 has been absolute trash this shoe brand died when it was bought by Deckers.A lot of people are giving you pushback, but I'd have to say that the last two pairs of Hokas I bought have been a major disappointment. Both the Bondi and Clifton were nice shoes in different ways. The last Bondis I bought were just terrible, heavy and slow, they lost that bounce that made up for all the cushioning and now just feel dead. The Cliftons went from being a well cushioned but reasonably light and fast shoe to being overly cushioned and significantly slower.
I thought I needed all that cushioning but last year switched to Kinvaras, they are faster and more fun to run in, and the reduced cushioning doesn't seem to cause injury any more than the slow Hokas. Not sure I'll ever buy another pair.
