If comfort and protection are your top priorities, but you still want a bit of fun and energy underfoot, Cloudmonster is a strong choice.
The On Cloudmonster stands out for its “monster” CloudTec® cushioning—On’s largest yet—paired with dual-density Helion™ superfoam for maximum comfort and bounce. Its radical rocker shape and Speedboard® technology promote smooth, propulsive transitions, making it ideal for runners who want a plush, energetic ride for road running and long distances.

It also boasts a higher recycled content, with up to 92% recycled polyester in the upper for improved sustainability.
