OnCloudsurfer Max
Powered by dual-layer CloudTec Phase™ and elevated Helion™ cushioning, the Cloudsurfer Max delivers maximized softness with effortless rollover for easy and long runs. Smooth, balanced, and deeply cushioned, it’s the premium daily trainer for runners who want a gentler stride without slowing down.
Details
Designed as the ultra-cushioned evolution of the Cloudeclipse, the On Cloudsurfer Max brings heightened softness and smooth, uninterrupted roll to daily miles and long aerobic runs. With additional Helion™ foam underfoot compared to the standard Cloudsurfer, this model increases shock absorption and leg protection for runners who want deeper cushioning without sacrificing forward flow. Its dual-layer CloudTec Phase™ setup creates a stable, balanced heel-to-toe transition that feels effortless at easy paces and refreshingly smooth on long-duration outings.
Up top, the breathable mesh upper receives a refined lacing system and enhanced tongue design for improved comfort, security, and midfoot hold. Finished with a sleek flat knit collar and updated color palette, the Cloudsurfer Max maintains On’s hallmark modern aesthetic while delivering a softer, more luxurious platform for routine training. Plush, steady, and quietly efficient, it turns daily strides into a calm, cushioned ride you’ll look forward to repeating.
