Maximal Cushioning & Energy Return

The On Cloudmonster 2 is designed for runners seeking maximum cushioning and energy return. It features On's largest CloudTec pods ever, providing a unique blend of comfort and propulsion. The shoe's dual-density Helion superfoam midsole ensures softer landings and better impact absorption, making it ideal for long-distance runs and recovery sessions.

Innovative Midsole & Speedboard

The Cloudmonster 2 incorporates a nylon-blend Speedboard sandwiched between the dual-density midsole foams. This design enhances energy return and forward momentum, offering a responsive ride. The shoe's oversized CloudTec elements deliver superior cushioning, while the Speedboard aids in propulsion during toe-off, making it suitable for runners who prefer a dynamic feel.

Sustainable Materials & Versatility

The Cloudmonster 2 features an upper made from 100% recycled polyester mesh, aligning with On's commitment to sustainability. Despite its maximalist design, the shoe is surprisingly versatile, suitable for both casual wear and athletic activities. However, it may feel firmer than expected due to its mechanical cushioning system, which relies on collapsing and rebounding CloudTec pods rather than soft foam. This unique feel makes it a standout choice for runners seeking a protective yet responsive ride.
