What to know about On

CloudTec soles are the signature

The hollow-pod CloudTec midsole and Speedboard plate are patented and shared across Cloud 5, Cloudmonster and Cloudsurfer, so the look and the tech are the same thing.

Running brand that reads streetwear

Built by an Ironman champion for performance, but the minimalist white-on-white silhouettes get worn as everyday sneakers as often as they get run in.

Range now goes past shoes

Beyond footwear there is technical apparel plus tennis and outdoor lines, with Roger Federer involved as an investor and design collaborator.
