CloudTec Phase® Technology
At the heart of this shoe is On’s cutting-edge CloudTec Phase® technology, where cushioning collapses in a wave-like sequence for a buttery-smooth ride. Whether pounding pavement or mixing up surfaces, the Cloudsurfer Next makes each stride feel lighter and more energised. Paired with Helion™ superfoam, this shoe delivers serious rebound with long-lasting comfort.
From the Mouth of the Tech Guru
According to Tifosi’s shoe tech expert, Justin Wooven: “What really sets the Cloudsurfer Next apart is its sleek forefoot rocker design. This feature literally propels you forward, delivering a faster, more responsive ride. It’s ideal for both speed lovers and casual runners, offering an efficient toe-off on those days when you're chasing your personal best.”
The upper construction reflects On’s obsession with detail. Ultralight, engineered mesh offers a snug fit without unnecessary seams. Breathable and padded in all the right places, it’s built for comfort during long runs and hard training alike.
Durability and Outsole Design
Strategically placed rubber pods on the outsole increase grip and reduce wear—perfect for South African road runners or anyone training in mixed terrain. And at just 273g, the Cloudsurfer Next remains featherlight without compromising resilience.
The Ride
So what does it feel like? In a word: dreamy. Cushioned yet springy, the Cloudsurfer Next delivers a propulsive edge with every step. While it’s not the lightest On in the lineup, its agility, rocker profile, and mid-stack design hit the sweet spot between softness and control.
It excels in steady-paced runs but adapts well to tempo efforts and intervals. Even without a Speedboard, the energy return is impressive. If you’re after a versatile trainer that does it all, this might be your perfect match.
The Verdict
The On Cloudsurfer Next is a top-tier choice for runners looking for comfort, performance, and versatility. From daily miles to fast finish efforts, it delivers consistent, high-level feel—proving why it’s quickly becoming a fan favourite at Tifosi Sports.
