Introducing the On Cloudsurfer Next Running Shoes

Introducing the On Cloudsurfer Next Running Shoes, brought to you by On – it’s a game-changer in the world of running. Designed with the revolutionary CloudTec Phase cushioning, these shoes offer an ultra-smooth, dynamic transition from heel to toe. Whether you're clocking your daily miles, picking up the pace on a fast run, or pushing through a quick workout, the Cloudsurfer Next is built to propel you forward with every step. Say goodbye to the ordinary and embrace a running experience like no other!

CloudTec Phase Technology

At the heart of this performance powerhouse is On’s innovative CloudTec Phase technology, where the cushioning collapses in sequence, ensuring a buttery-smooth ride from start to finish. Whether you're pounding the pavement or hitting your favourite running trails, the Cloudsurfer Next makes every run feel effortless and energised. Helion™ superfoam adds an extra kick of energy return, making every stride count. This isn't just about comfort—it's about performance, designed for those who want to push their limits.

From the mouth of the Tech Guru

According to Tifosi’s shoe tech guru Justin Wooven, “What really sets the Cloudsurfer Next apart from other running shoes is its sleek forefoot rocker design. This feature literally propels you forward, giving you a faster, more responsive ride. Perfect for speed demons and casual runners alike, the shoe encourages a powerful toe-off, making it an ideal option for those fast-paced days when you're chasing personal bests.”

On top of the high-performance midsole construction, the upper of the Cloudsurfer Next is designed with On’s signature attention to detail. Featuring an ultralight, engineered woven upper, it delivers a snug, almost custom-like fit without any unnecessary stitching. It’s soft, breathable, and incredibly comfortable, making those long runs or intense training sessions feel like a breeze. With extra padding around the tongue and heel collar, you get all the cushioning you need where it counts most—without any bulk.

Durability and Outsole Design

Durability is also a priority with the Cloudsurfer Next, thanks to its thoughtfully designed outsole. With a strategic placement of rubber on the sole, these shoes can withstand the demands of both road running and gym workouts, all while keeping the weight down for a light-on-your-feet feel.

The Ride

So, how does it actually feel to run in the Cloudsurfer Next? Simply put, it feels like a dream. The cushioning is soft, yet responsive, giving you that propulsive sensation with every step. Even though it’s not the lightest shoe in the On lineup, it sure feels light on your feet, allowing you to stay nimble and fast. Thanks to the moderate stack height, you feel well-protected without losing connection to the road. It’s the perfect balance between cushion and responsiveness.

The Cloudsurfer Next is best suited for steady-paced runs, where the cushioning shines. But don’t let that fool you—it performs just as well during tempo runs or shorter intervals. It’s surprisingly effective at faster speeds, delivering exceptional propulsion and responsiveness, even without a Speedboard. If you're looking for a shoe that offers versatility and performance in one sleek package, this is it.

The Verdict

In short, the On Cloudsurfer Next is a runner’s dream. It’s lightweight, responsive, and versatile, making it ideal for daily miles, speed-focused sessions, and everything in between. Whether you're chasing a new personal best or just looking for a shoe that can handle your everyday runs with ease, the Cloudsurfer Next delivers on all fronts.
