On Adds Extra Cushioning and Support to the Cloudrunner
Featuring new support zones, extra breathability and a new CloudTec construction.
Fresh from launching its new Cloudmonster recently, Swiss footwear specialist On has unveiled its Cloudrunner silhouette. The shoe is designed with comfort and support in mind, with a range of technical changes to help runners of all abilities.
Stand-out features include a series of special support zones and a mesh upper to keep the foot breathing, a slightly wider shape for stability and On’s combination of its signature CloudTec and Speedboard technologies. Alongside these innovations, On has also used over 90% recycled polyester for the shoe, more than 30% of which is made from recycled materials.
Unveiling the all-new Cloudrunner, On’s Head of Footwear Product Management Edouard Coyon said:
“To make the Cloudrunner more supportive we have increased the width of the bottom unit in the forefoot and the heel area, so you land and push off on a wider platform. We sculpted the inside of the bottom unit, so your foot sits inside a cradle, instead of sitting on top of it. The upper nicely wraps around your foot so it is fully supported. We tuned the geometry of the clouds – smaller clouds on the medial side than on lateral – to support the foot’s movement from heel to toe.”
The Cloudrunner is due to release via the On web store and select stockists on April 21.
