On February 18th, we organized a product test at our Running Boutique in the center of Valencia together with Frolik and Hoka. At this event, attendees had the opportunity to try out the new Hoka Bondi 9, enjoying a unique experience with a detailed technical explanation, guided training and a perfect ending with pizzas for everyone.
An Event to Run and Get to Know Bondi 9
The day began with the distribution of test shoes, where each runner was able to try on their ideal size of the Hoka Bondi 9Next, one of our running shoe experts explained the main innovations of this model, highlighting its supercritical cushioning and the new Meta-Rocker geometry. Frolik then led a training session, allowing attendees to experience first-hand the comfort and stability that this model offers in motion.
After training, we enjoyed a moment of recovery with pizzas, promoting a good atmosphere among runners and sharing impressions about the shoe.
