We’ve long been fans of Swiss brand On at Run247, so we’re excited to bring you a first look at the new Cloud X.
It’s primarily a super light (190g) fully cushioned running shoe, but it’s also designed to be versatile enough to use in the gym. It’s an all-rounder.
“The Cloud X is engineered for running but adapts to whatever else you throw into your workout,” explains Olivier Bernhard, former World Duathlon champion and multiple Ironman Winner and Co-Founder of On. “However you like to mix it up, the Cloud X has your back and encourages you to go longer, go harder, and go further than you ever thought possible.”
The Cloud X weighs in at less that 190 grams, but it still provides decent cushioning. The sole is crafted from Zero-gravity foam, which is designed to absorb the shock of every contact between your foot and the pavement or the gym floor. On’s patented Speedboard converts this impact energy into forward motion to help you through your workout. The shoe’s functional engineered mesh and incredibly lightweight upper keep your foot moving freely and ensures your feet stay cool in the gym.
Add to this a heel cap with sports precision-moulded cushion pad, to lock your foot securely in place, a dual-density sock liner and a seamless tongue and you’ve got an impressive, lightweight shoe packed with technology to keep you comfortable.
The Cloud X comes in Grey/Neon, Water/Blues, Black/Asphalt and Storm/Flash for men, and Grey/Atlantis, Niagara/Lime, White/Black and Red/Flash for women. Available
online and in stores now.
