Developed and tested in the Swiss Alps, no distance is off-limits for On’s Cloudultra trail shoe. The Cloudultra, an all-new model Swiss-engineered to conquer the toughest terrains with maximum cushioning and support. Designed for ultramarathons, long trail runs and off-road training sessions, the Cloudultra combines On’s heritage with the latest in design and running technology. „As a brand born in the Swiss Alps the mountains challenge us to create products that can withstand their demanding elements,” says On Co-founder Olivier Bernhard, “The Cloudultra delivers just that—theopportunity to explore your corner of the world in complete comfort.“ As runners can attest, long distances create foot swell; that’s why On developed a revolutionary solution called the FlipRelease™ tool. This new feature, premiering on the Cloudultra and located on the forefoot, relieves uncomfortable pressure with a simple flip of the small tool secured on the lacing. Pulling inspiration from its road counterpart, the Cloudstratus, the Cloudultra features dual CloudTec® layers working in tandem to provide cushioning and long-term comfort. A connected midsole increases impact protection while a closed Missiongrip™ outsole guarantees a rock-free ride. In addition to its adaptable sock-like construction for a precise fit, a perforated sandwich mesh upper provides increased breathability. Crafted in collaboration with On’s elite athletes, the Cloudultra packs comfort and precision in a striking silhouette. Born in the Swiss Alps, designed to explore the world.
