HOKA®, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), launches the Clifton PRO, a performance trainer engineered for maximum control. A more progressive version of the beloved Clifton, the Clifton PRO pushes performance to the max with a streamlined silhouette and the debut of new PROGLIDE + technology.
Building on Legacy
First introduced in 2014, Clifton redefined how runners experience everyday miles – pairing maximal cushioning with a responsive, lightweight ride in a way the industry hadn’t seen before. What began as a bold experiment quickly became a category defining franchise, beloved by runners who prioritize comfort, consistency and smooth turnover. Over a decade of updates, the Clifton has continuously evolved alongside the needs of runners and remains a staple in the modern running rotation.
Clifton PRO moves the franchise’s legacy into a new chapter with a more progressive build designed for runners focused on performance outcomes. Reengineered for greater efficiency and smoother transitions, the Clifton PRO is a powerful performance tool, making daily training not just about logging miles, but unlocking measurable and repeatable gains – run after run.
Optimised for Breakthroughs
Built to optimize runners’ daily miles, the Clifton PRO is HOKA’s most dynamic Clifton to date, powered by PROGLIDE +, a next-generation system of performance foams and natural geometries that deliver an effortlessly smooth ride.
PROGLIDE + pairs resilient SCF foam with HOKA’s aggressive MetaRocker™ to create a fluid rolling sensation underfoot. The system is designed to absorb impact while actively guiding runners forward, supporting steadier cadence across daily miles.
Designed for runners focused on high-volume training, the Clifton PRO features durable construction and premium materials alongside an aggressive rocker profile resulting in a ride that feels both protected and propulsive. The streamlined silhouette and precision-tuned profile enhance turnover and control, supporting consistency over distance.
“Since the Clifton first launched, it has continually set the standard for what runners expect from a daily trainer,” said Colin Ingram, Global Vice President, Footwear, at HOKA. “With the Clifton PRO, we wanted to take that trusted foundation and push it further for athletes who are relentlessly chasing progress. Debuting with our new PROGLIDE + system for a smoother, more dynamic ride, we’ve optimized a trainer that helps serious runners have that competitive advantage that unlocks breakthroughs run after run.”
Run It Again
Clifton PRO launches alongside HOKA’s Run It Again campaign, anchored by a short film that captures the daily grind and determination of a runner’s drive to improve, the repetition behind progress, and the role of a dependable performance shoe in that routine. The creative frames Clifton PRO as the shoe for runners who treat consistency like a competitive edge.
