On Cloudboom Strike - Race-day technology for marathon performance
Built specifically for marathon racing, the On Cloudboom Strike combines ultra-responsive cushioning with maximum energy return. This road racing shoe features innovative Bounceboard construction and carbon fiber Speedboard® technology designed to propel you through 26.2 miles at your fastest pace.
Revolutionary Bounceboard Construction
The innovative Bounceboard—crafted from ultra-responsive Helion™ HF hyper foam—creates a propulsive platform that drives you forward with power. This removable plush cushioning layer maximises energy return whilst adhering to stack height regulations, delivering a bouncy sensation underfoot that maintains freshness through long-distance efforts. The cushioned ride protects against repetitive impact without compromising responsiveness.
Carbon Fiber Speedboard® for Explosive Efficiency
A stiff, spoon-shaped carbon fiber Speedboard® functions like a spring system—absorbing energy at midstance and transferring it into the forefoot for powerful toe-offs. Strategically positioned CloudTec® elements work alongside the Speedboard® to create faster, smoother roll-through from heel strike to propulsion. The result is measurably increased running efficiency when every second counts.
Race-Ready Ultralight Upper
The one-piece semi-transparent mesh upper combines ultralight construction with breathability, helping reduce overheating during sustained race efforts. Cage-like construction locks down the midfoot securely, maintaining fit stability without pressure points even as fatigue sets in during the final kilometres.
