It is all in the name. The Cloudmonster features one of On's thickest CloudTec outsole, and combined with the powerful Speedboard, provides supreme cushioning and energy return. The rocker profile of the outsole rolls you from one step to the next, while the breathable and flexible uppers keep you cool and up your speed. A good chunk of the shoe is made of recycled material, so you can feel good about looking good. Updated for SS26, On has somehow made them slightly lighter, and the one-piece construction and new lacing system provide a sleeker silhouette than the original version.

Available at Glebe Trotters.
