Marni Gives a Hoka Bondi Sneaker a Luxury Makeover
The Italian fashion brand has joined forces with the running brand to elevate its Bondi B3LS silhouette, a look from the Deckers Brands-owned company that was created to blur the lines between performance and style. The collaboration, Marni explained, is 'a reflection of the shared spirit of creativity and functionality that defines 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,' Marni creative director Francesco Risso said in a statement. 'Together, we've created a bold, totemic design — sculpted a shoe that is a fearless expression of movement, volume and identity.'
The highlight of Marni's upgraded version of the Hoka Bondi B3LS are its bold, eye-catching uppers, which were crafted using subtly rubberized, lightly padded polyester. Marni explained this execution would offer both enhanced comfort and durability. The luxury label also equipped this collaboration with responsive rubber outsoles and cushioned EVA insoles.
The collaborative sneakers will come with three sets of laces, including a monochrome flat pair, a rope tone-on-tone pair and a wider, multicolored option. The collab will arrive in four colorways: 'Poinciana' (red), 'Bracken' (charcoal), 'Tourmaline' (blue) and 'Straw' (beige).
'The partnership between Hoka and Marni is rooted in celebrating the natural intersection of running and fashion. Both brands value bold optimism, irreverent color and witty playfulness in a visionary manner,' Hoka senior director of global collaborations and partnerships Thomas Cykana said in a statement. 'In that spirit, Hoka is proud to bring a dramatically exaggerated and maximalist expression of the Bondi B3LS to life as an embodiment of that shared vision.'
Marni will launch its Hoka Bondi B3LS sneakers via Marni.com, as well as at select boutiques, on April 3. The collaboration will then debut on Hoka.com and at retail partners globally on April 4. Retail price is $395.
Hoka's collaboration strategy as of late has included both performance running standouts and famed fashion designers. For instance, the brand released a Restore Chukka collaboration with British-Iranian designer Paria Farzaneh in October 2024. And a month later, Hoka teamed up with Satisfy once again for a Mafate Speed 4 Lite collaboration in 'Coffee' and 'Bone' colorways.

‘Adolescence' Lands 13 Emmy Nominations, Beating ‘Baby Reindeer's Tally From Last Year
Adolescence, Netflix's second-most popular English language series of all time, has secured 13 Emmy nominations. The hit Netflix series landed noms for stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, breakout Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters and Christine Tremarco, along with picking one up for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. Co-creator Jack Thorne is up for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, while one-shot helmer Philip Barantini has the same in directing.

The show created by Thorne and Graham sparked a global conversation over the impact of social media and masculinity on teenage boys. In the UK, it has become required watching for school children. Produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B, Warp Films and Matriarch Productions, Adolescence was always likely to perform well at awards season. Its most direct recent British comparator is Baby Reindeer, also for Netflix, which last year secured 11 Emmy noms, winning six including lead Richard Gadd and supporting actresses Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.

Plan B bosses Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner recently told us they are in early talks to make what could become a second season. British shows like The Crown and Fleabag have traditionally performed well at the Emmys, leading to something of a mini Brit invasion over the past decade or so. Adolescence could bring that home at the ceremony in September. Other British nominees this year include Gary Oldman for Slow Horses.
