New shoe, new foam, new sensation. The Cloudswift is a brand new running shoe from On, and it delivers a new experience thanks to the addition of Helion foam. On’s new cushion recipe blends hard and soft materials to make a foam that delivers enduring energy return and ample protection from the pavement. On used Helion to line the Cloudswift with its unique Cloud Elements. Those elements collapse diagonally when your foot hits the ground, combining with the compression of the foam to deliver cushion horizontally as well as vertically. Designers capped the Cloud Elements with durable outsole rubber to protect them from abrasion and give you extra grip, even on wet pavement. To lock your foot in place, the Cloudswiift uses a strong and stretchy midfoot cage. The cage tightens up to keep you secure without restricting the movement of your forefoot. Testers in our On Cloudswift review loved how the cushion felt beneath their feet, saying it protected against unforgiving pavement but was responsive enough to pick up the pace. Packed with Helion, the next generation of On is here. Tech specs Price: $150 Weight: 10.2 oz (men’s); 8.5 oz (women’s) Drop: 7 mm Use: Everyday trainer Surface: Road, track
