# Co-Designed Fashionable Sneakers HOKA and Marni Join Forces on the Bondi B3LS Sneaker Model By Amy Duong | Published 2025-03-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b3ls References: [marni](http://www.marni.com/) & [hoka](https://www.hoka.com/)  Fashion brand [Marni](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laceup-sneaker) works in collaboration with [HOKA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondi-b3ls) on the new [Bondi B3LS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondi-b3ls-1) sneaker model. It comes in four colorways, and it joins the former's Fall/Winter 2025 season as a part of the Pink Sun collection. The two detail the Bondi B3LS model, which first hit the market last year. The upper has a chunky look made from polyester materials with a partially rubberized build and lightly padded feel. All of this rests on top of a sturdy sole unit at the bottom, which uses a responsive rubber material and cushioned EVA insoles for comfort with every step -- it also has co-branding. More branding for the duo can be seen in the packaging, the tongue pull tab, which nods to HOKA and Marni at the heel's pull tab.
