On debuts Cloudboom Strike, designed to push the limits of speed

The Drop: Swiss running brand On has unveiled its latest high-performance racing shoe, the Cloudboom Strike.

The Details: Built to maximise energy return

Part of the limited-edition Prism Collection, the Cloudboom Strike is designed to provide elite marathoners with an ultra-responsive and efficient racing experience.

Tipping the scales at just 210g, the Cloudboom Strike’s featherlight construction means less energy wasted on lifting your feet, allowing you to maintain your pace deep into those crucial final miles of a marathon.

The Cloudboom Strike weighs just 210g.

With a maximum stack height of 39.5mm and a 4mm drop, the increased cushioning helps maintain your form and reduces fatigue as the miles tick by, potentially shaving precious seconds off your finish time.

The heart of the Cloudboom Strike is its innovative drop-in midsole featuring a new bounceboard and Helion Hyperfoam. This unique construction acts like a trampoline for your feet, storing and releasing energy with each stride to keep you bouncing along at top speed.

The Cloudboom Strike is part of the limited-edition Prism Collection.

While the midsole provides the power, On hasn’t neglected the importance of a secure and comfortable fit. A supportive cage system works in tandem with the breathable upper to keep your foot secure, meaning less energy wasted on stabilizing your foot inside the shoe and more power transferred directly into your stride.

Technical specifications:

• Weight: 210g (EU M 42), 169g (EU W 38)
• Sizes: Men US 7-14, Women US 5-11
• Stack height: Heel 39.5mm, Toe 35.5mm
• Drop: 4mm

Where to buy

The On Cloudboom Strike is priced at $280 and will be available through On’s website and select retailers.
