ON Running Cloudstratus 2021
In the video I review the Cloudstratus 2021 with several comparisons and especially to the Cloudstratus 1 a considerably firmer and heavier shoe. The new Cloudstratus is significant new direction for ON towards softer and friendlier as well as lighter.
It has softer Helion foam (than any ON I have tested) in a completely redesigned bottom unit with CloudTec Elements now in connected layers and an outsole midsole with more flex transforming along with the Speedboard the ride to a far less prescriptive and rigid affair than previous ON, except for the also relatively new Cloudswift. ON, in addition to all the rest they are doing in lifestyle shoes is clearly also doubling down with a new and promising take on "modernizing" their approach to run shoe rides here, largely ditching the prescriptive, stiff, and firm with the Cloudstratus.
It is topped with a far lighter upper than usual from them that carries forward ON Swiss styling but in a simpler more functional fashion.
The result is a smoothest running ON to date for me with a forgiving, softer and energetic ride from the foam and the geometry with a weight of 10.1 oz /286 g in a US9 so a big drop of 29g / 1oz plus from the first edition. I measure the heel stack at 30mm with an 8mm drop.
$170. Available now at our partners below.
