On Brand

The On mission: To ignite the human spirit through movement.

Let On elevate your running experience with its innovative design and CloudTec Cushioning. Designed for athletes worldwide, On offers a range of running footwear that combines performance and style, as well as lifestyle shoes that combine style and comfort for everyday wear.

CloudTec Technology

Featuring individual cushion pods referred to as ‘cloud elements’ on its outsole, CloudTec by On is a revolutionary cushioning technology.

As you push off, the elements become a stable platform for a powerful toe-off, resulting in a soft landing that reduces joint strain.

Cloud elements provide targeted cushioning upon impact, reducing joint strain.

In addition to improving comfort, responsiveness, and overall running performance, the lightweight, adaptive technology gives you the feeling that you're on clouds while running.

CleanCloud

Using high-performance materials made from carbon emissions, CleanCloud is helping On to move away from fossil-based materials.

By converting carbon emissions into liquid ethanol and then dehydrating it to become ethylene gas, and polymerizing that to create EVA pellets, CleanCloud can use this EVA to engineer high-performance foam cushioning for On's running shoes.

While not available for purchase yet, On have managed to create the first ever CleanCloud shoe using this method: the Cloudprime. It combines a polyester-based textile upper with a 40% bio-based castor bean speedboard, CloudTec in a CleanCloud EVA foam midsole, and a 35% upcycled TPU outsole.
