On Cloudpulse Training Shoe
Overview
The On Cloudpulse is a purpose-built training shoe for athletes who split time between gym work and high-intensity cardio. Built with an engineered, recycled-mesh upper and internal reinforcement, it balances breathable comfort with the lateral support needed for circuits, sprints and dynamic movements. Underfoot, CloudTec® molded from Helion™ superfoam delivers a springy, responsive ride while an 8mm midsole drop and a midfoot TPU clip nudge the foot into a mid/forefoot strike and stabilize transitions. It’s aimed at multisport enthusiasts who want a lightweight, eco-conscious trainer that handles HIIT, short speed sessions and mixed-resistance workouts better than a typical road shoe, without sacrificing agility or comfort.
Key Features
- Upper: Engineered mesh made with recycled materials for breathability and targeted padding in high-friction zones.
- Cushioning: CloudTec® sole molded from Helion™ superfoam for a lightweight, springy underfoot response.
- Midsole Drop: 8mm drop to promote a mid/forefoot strike and quicker toe-off during sprints and agility work.
- Stability: Midfoot TPU clip and internal reinforcement to reduce medial/lateral wobble during lateral drills.
- Outsole: Grippy rubber tread optimized for gym floors and short outdoor sprints—designed for traction in multidirectional movement.
