Most max-cushion shoes make you choose between comfort and speed. The On Cloudmonster 3 doesn't see it that way. A triple-layered CloudTec midsole pattern delivers three waves of Helion cushioning that absorb impact and keep legs fresh across long efforts, while a responsive Speedboard plate embedded within those layers adds propulsion and prevents the ride from ever feeling like you're running through sand.

The combination works because neither element overpowers the other. The cushioning is generous and adaptive without feeling mushy, and the Speedboard keeps energy moving forward efficiently rather than getting lost in the foam. An enhanced toe rocker ties it together, smoothing transitions and giving the Cloudmonster 3 the range to feel comfortable on a slow recovery jog and capable enough to surprise you when the pace picks up at a group run.

The engineered mesh upper is built with an aerodynamic profile and improved security for a fit that feels dialed in across different effort levels without sacrificing the roomy, adaptive comfort you want in a high-mileage daily trainer. A grippy rubber outsole handles traction on varied road surfaces. For runners who spend most of their time in a max-cushion shoe but occasionally want to stretch their legs and move faster, the Cloudmonster 3 gives you both without compromise.
